We want a "Public" enquiry on Iraq

Gordon Brown's announcement that an independent inquiry into the country's role in the Iraq War will be held in private, is just not good enough.

We Lib Dems want, demand an full open public enquiry. We are not alone in this the overwhelming majority of the public demands it and more poignantly so do the families of the 179 sevice personnel who've lost their lives there.

Iraq has been a terrible "adventure", horribly wrong and catastrphic for the Iraqi people, hundreds of thousands of whom have died and been injured, and millions made homeless or become refugees.

We Lib Dems were the ONLY major party against the war, and I fought Keighley in 2005 on a policy of withdrawal.

We need that full and open public enquiry now.
