Michael Mates on the Iraq inquiry

Post categories:

Robin Lustig | 09:58 UK time, Thursday, 25 June 2009

There are some interviews that it is worth listening to very carefully. This is one of them: former minister Michael Mates on why some of the material that he saw during the Butler inquiry into the use of Iraq intelligence material will "make people's eyes water" if and when it is disclosed during the forthcoming Chilcot inquiry.

Listen especially closely to what he says about the full legal advice given to Ministers (which he has seen) in the run-up to the Iraq invasion.
