OT: I was misled into voting for the war |
I was misled into voting for the war

So were many other MPs; now Blair has been fatally damaged

Observing the prime minister making his statement on the Butler report
in the Commons on Wednesday, it was difficult to believe that I was
watching a man respond to a document that catalogued a host of
shortcomings in his government's management and presentation of the
case for war with Iraq. The report had exposed the laissez-faire
approach to cabinet government adopted by the prime minister; cabinet
members who had collective responsibility for government policy were
not provided with the relevant papers in advance of meetings but were
orally briefed on Iraq at unscripted meetings - a practice that should
surely be unacceptable to the members of any parish council, let alone
the cabinet.
