'Dodgy dossier' was 'wrong', its author says

Print

The government official who wrote the first draft of the "dodgy dossier" that helped propel Britain into war in Iraq today admits, "We were wrong."

The draft was not disclosed at the Hutton inquiry into the death in 2003 of the former Iraq arms inspector David Kelly. The scientist had suggested the dossier was exaggerated to justify the UK joining the 2003 invasion.

TVNL Comment: They were not "wrong", they "lied!" This was not a mistake, it was a deception.
