Yo Blair did you hear the one about the .......

Unlikely to be published before general election and teflon Tony will probably come out smelling of roses.

[Peter Pedant]

I think just summaries will be given

and Bush's views not at all.

waste of £10m and five years....

They'll just pick out and publish the bits that make the pair of them look as if they were right to invade Iraq when in fact they are both war criminals and should be brought to justice.

[frugalfred]

Peter is correct. BBC reports that only the "gist" of the report will be released.

[Quizmonster]

I realise that it's utterly pointless for me to point out that there is a very long tradition of NOT publishing the details of Cabinet meeting discussions as well as those of conversations between Britain's and other nations' leaders.
Just a moment's thought should make it obvious just WHY that confidentiality is important. However, I know that that "moment's thought" will not be indulged in by those whose minds are alrady made up about what they see as "the truth".

[askyourgran]

The report will not be verbatim, and Bush will not be mentioned by all accounts. Blair will of course get off scot free to lie another day. What a waste of time.

See the mirror stole my posting .....Yo Blair

Vermin, the pair of them, responsible for the death of many British servicemen and women, fighting a war that has nothing to do with the UK, and has promoted, not reduced terrorism.

Would love to see both of them taken down as war criminals.
