ANOTHER LEAK

My main employer, the Sunday Times, scores another huge scoop with this leak on how British ministers were told in July 2002 that since an “illegal war” was already inevitable, it was “necessary to create the conditions” which would make it legal. I wish I were surprised. I distinctly remember telling my London editors that summer that of course the decision for war had already been made. Wasn’t that obvious to everyone at the time? I guess not among the British public.
