Trust is still the crucial issue

Recent revelations over the legal background to the Iraq war make it
imperative that Blair comes clean, writes Henry Porter
Sunday March 27, 2005
The Observer
The Prime minister's Cabinet allies have been briefing that 'Peter is
still comfortable' with the advice he gave the government before the
Iraq war. Surely the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, must be anything
but comfortable because the issue of his change of heart in the run-up
to war in Iraq has the potential to unify all streams of opinion on the
war.
Whether you were for or against the invasion, whether you believe the
results have been broadly beneficial to the Middle East or an
unmitigated disaster that will go on costing innocent lives does not
matter. This issue is about the way Britain is governed and Tony
Blair's use of the political machine to mould and distort the advice of
civil servants and intelligence chiefs. About this, everyone should be
concerned, regardless of their stance on the war or, indeed, Michael
Howard's brutal sacking of his deputy chairman Howard Flight which
temporarily saved Labour from further squirming last week.
