'An independent inquiry into the Iraq war will be held in private, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has told MPs.

It will start next month and take at least a year, Mr Brown said. It will not aim to "apportion blame", he added.'

It's great living in a free country.........

We know what happened, near enough, in ghastly detail, and blame has already been apportioned. It is one of the reasons why this will be irrelevant long before it reports.

Pure window dressing.

Wonder if he'll remember his promise of a referendum on the EU constitution especially now it looks more likely that the Irish will re-run their referendum.

He's just so full of broken promises I can't trust him at all or his party. It's a real crock.

Well I don't. I know that we went to war of course. But I don't know the ghastly details concerning why we went to war.

All I know, are the excuses which Tony Blair gave for going to war.

Now I want to be told the actual reasons, officially.

It's not just some policy decision, a lot of people died and are still dying and the government is responsible because they decided - ignoring most people's wishes to not go to war!

Brown just doesn't get it does he. After the expenses fiasco the electorate want disclosure and accountability. He was forced into this by his backbenchers and by making it secret and delaying it beyond the next election its just coming across as if he's playing a cynical political game- which is just what he is doing- instead of having a genuine attempt at getting to the truth. This from the man who as Chancellor effectively paid for the war but was somehow strangely invisible at the time.

Private inquiry's,no prosecutions over mps expenses.

Sounds like business as usual.

Legality doesn't stand a chance against politics.

Banks rule the Government which rules the Law which in turn rules the people and somewhere in the gutter lies democracy, accountability, decency, honour and truth.
