Iraq Inquiry

I am motivated by what the hon. and learned Gentleman is saying. If I say the words Tim Razzall, cricket and that ““Newsnight”” programme, to which I happened to be a contributor last week, he will understand why. What I found most revealing—this is also probably barrister speak—was that Jonathan Powell, when questioned repeatedly by Paxman, simply said that he was glad that Saddam Hussein was down and gone. We all are—but that was not the issue, was it?
