I saw the first half, then gave up as it was just a rehash of previous government claims. I thought that it was going to be a programme about the run up to the war, but it was just another one of those where a selected audience asks questions of a government minister (Benn? God, my short term memory is failing fast) who cynically bats them all aside and reels off the party line. In this case it was:
a) We believed the evidence at the time and Parliament voted for the war.
b) We didn't need a second UN resolution as the existing ones were sufficient (and even if they weren't we could ignore the UN as, for example, we did over Kosovo).
c) No evidence
yet of WMD, but some evidence of a programme.
d) Tony Blair is totally, utterly and completely trustworthy.
As I said, not worth the waste of electricity.
