Iraq inquiry cannot publish Blair-Bush exchanges

"The head of the civil service has refused to allow the official inquiry into the Iraq War to publish notes sent by Tony Blair to former US president George Bush.

Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell denied requests for exchanges between the former prime minister and Mr Bush about Iraq to be declassified and released."

Yes, I'm sorry. We know he lied. He knows we know he lied. Ad infinitum, ad nauseum. But I'm not going to let this go until he's either in the Hague or Jesus decides he wants him for a sunbeam.

1. Astonishing. Simply breathtaking isn't it

"Sir Gus replied just before Christmas, writing: "My view is that the public interest is not best served by their release."

As if he gave a toss about the public interest. Twat.
