INQUIRY INTO THE IRAQ WAR -- Updated 19 August, 2020

Update 19 August, 2020 

It was reported, recently, that Blair put on all his papers of the Iraq War under the Official Secret Act for 70 years. To make sure the truth wont be known till such time.

Update 18 Sept., 2017 -- Recently it emerged that the full report was not published and MPs urging to publish the second part hoping it will more details and name Tony Blair.

Update:  After lots of pressure the Chilcot report was publish. Although very thorough but it did not name Tony Blair which would have brought him into The Hague Criminal Court.

Why again that cover-up? He brought UK into an illegal war which cost over one million lives and Iraq is worse off than ever.

UPDATE: It has now been confirmed that the publication of the Chilcot report will be on 6 July, 2016

Another failed promise -- Cameron promised to publish the papers before the 2015 General Election.  Now being elected the big silence has come down on it again. Who is he protecting? Blair or somebody else? As so many other inquiries it also ended up as a "white wash" costing taxpayers £7.5million which would have done the general public an awful lot of good if spend on them.

The result of this lengthy inquiry is that secret papers between Tony Blair and George Bush

 running up to the invasion in 2003 will not be published. They will only publish papers which had been already edited, in other words the important parts being blackened out. The announcement received heavy criticism. Even Sir John Major, ex-Prime Minister, advised Tony Blair it would be better if he allowed his papers to be published. He pointed out that a refusal would only raise suspicion and it will fester on it.

Labour MP John McDonnell said the deal meant Tony Blair had got his way. He said: "This confirms all the suspicions that people had that this inquiry will be a whitewash."

Former Labour MP Andrew MacKinlay described the inquiry as a "sham". Mr Mackinley, a member of the Commons foreign affairs committee at the time of the war, said: "I am not surprised that Chilcot has surrendered, It is a bad, bad day for democracy and justice, We were lied to as a country time and time again on Iraq, The lies endure."

It has to be pointed out at this point that a man died because being a highly qualified weapon inspector, Dr Kelly.  Tony Blair gave his name to the press and revealed that he is trying to find out whether there are Weapon of Mass Destruction.. Up to this day it had not been established why and by whom Dr Kelly died? The official verdict was suicide but many evidences speak against it. Was he going to spill the truth about the Weapon of Mass Destruction? It would have exposed George Bush and Tony Blair. It would also have stopped their plans to invade Iraq.

Years later, Dr Kelly's body was exhumed and cremated without the permission from his wife and family. It is certainly odd that somebody would have ordered this and without 

permission. It must have been to destroy all evidences of his death.

The Iraq war cost 179 UK soldiers lives. The Chilcot inquiry is also an insult to the families of those soldiers. They want and deserve to know the truth but as one mother Rose Gentle said: "I felt that Tony Blair was being allowed to walk away from the Iraq war. We don't think we'll get the truth now."

Labour MP Paul Flynn said: "The whole truth about the Iraq was required to give closure to the loved ones of the 179 soldiers killed.  The Chilcot Report will publish the truth, some of the truth but not the whole truth"

The inquiry was launched in 2009 and finished in 2011 and it took all this time and many demands to release the Chilcot Report.

One of the main supporter to keep these documents secret is Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood.  He was Mr Blair's principle private secretary and the PM's closest advisers in 1999.  Well that tells it all.

DR KELLY'S DEATH -- UPDATED 6 Nov., 2019

Recently, Dr Kelly's body was exhumed without the consent of the family and was cremated. It was stated to be ordered by Blair and certainly confirms that he feared of some evidences to be found with the new technology; implicating him. The papers are under non-disclosure for 70 years; the longest ever. It was ordered by Blair. Blair should be in court for long time for his illegal war on a lie costing 1 million lives.

UPDATE: 6 Nov., 2019  --  There has still no inquiry been ordered into his death, after all those years. Recently a report stated that it is assumed Iraqis were thought to be guilty of murdering Dr Kelly but nothing had been proven. 

Somehow for the public to accept this statement is a bit hard because Dr Kelly stated categorically there are no Weapons of Mass-destruction. One thing is certain that Dr Kelly died after ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair named him as a weapon inspector in the Iraqi affair. This does not reflect on the Labour Party but on Tony Blair's irresponsibility.

Dr Kelly was a British Scientist and expert on biological warfare. He was employed by the British Ministry of Defence and formerly a UN weapon inspector in Iraq.  Before war it was claimed that Iraq had “Weapon of Mass Destructions”. 

Mr Bush the president of the USA at that time got everyone convinced and Tony Blair got involved. The more others experts were denying the statement the more Mr Bush and Mr Blair tried to find evidence to convince the UN to declare war on Iraq. The UN never sanctioned it but USA and UK declared war on Iraq which was illegal. During all this built-up Dr Kelly’s name was revealed.

Soon Dr Kelly was found dead in a nearby wood with his wrists cut. It was in 2003. It looked like suicide although it soon was claimed that there wasn’t enough blood to cause death. An inquiry was launched and Lord Hutton led it.  His conclusion of the case was suicide. It appears that Lord Hutton only spend half-a-day on the medical evidence during all the 24 days of the inquiry.

In March 2011, after the papers were released, it was discovered that none of his fingerprints were on the knife found nearby, nor on the packet of pills he supposed to have taken, mobile phone, watch and a water bottle near his body.

The new information has been sent to the Attorney General Dominic Grieve. The partition was signed by doctors to strengthen the case and re-open a new inquiry. They demanded for further tests to establish whether the fingerprints were erased. The campaigners also pointed out that there were discrepancies between witnesses.  Furthermore, Lord Hutton took no evidence from vascular surgeons or other clinicians on whether death was caused by loss of blood. All this doesn’t show a thorough investigation as expected of a death of such a highly qualified and specialised person like Dr Kelly.

The doctors who campaigned for a new inquest added that they strongly belief if there was a new inquest with a thorough established evidence and information the verdict would definitely not be suicide.

In June 2011 Mr Grieve stated that looking through the papers he could find any no legal basis of referring the case to the High Court. It is the High Court which is the legal authority to order a new inquest. This is an incredible statement to make after proven all the failure of evidences especially by an Attorney General.

In September 2011 the campaigners lodge papers to seek a judicial review of the decision not to hold a new inquiry. The court said there was no impropriety or procedural flaw in the way Mr Grieve has considered the evidence and concluded a new inquiry was unnecessary.

All this is all wrong and definitely not justice. A blindfolded person can see it. Unfortunately, Dr Kelly is not the only one being denied justice to establish the real reason for his death. Most of them are famous and well known names where the evidence had been changed or brushed under the carpet. Even for ordinary people evidence can be withheld and the wrong verdict given. The families who lost a loved one whether famous or not are suffering because they want to know the truth. The person who died certainly deserves better than being lied about their cause of death.

With all due respect courts and judges seem to getting a close, secret society and powerful. They forget they are on taxpayers' money and their duty is to establishing the truth and issue the right verdict. Nothing else. People have too often and too long fought for justice which is utterly and totally wrong. Too many time we read about evidence being withheld or even changed. It is not the way it should be dealt with. The law is the law and judges are there to uphold it and have no right to change evidence to suit the verdict.

The public wants justice but in many cases it was not given. Judges forget that it is the people’s right to have justice
