Iraq War Tell-All Book Blocked by Brit Govt

Guardian UK: the Brit Ambassador to the UN during the run-up to the Iraq invasion, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, wrote The Costs of War, and the book's publication is being halted by the Prime Minister and the Foreign Office. Greenstock describes the US decision to go to war as 'politically illegitimate' and says that UN negotiations 'never rose over the level of awkward diversion for the US administration'. Although he admits that 'honourable decisions' were made to remove the threat of Saddam, the opportunities of the post-conflict period were 'dissipated in poor policy analysis and narrow-minded execution'. Hmm, no wonder the Brit govt is suffocating this book-- it tells the truth.
