Blair’s war crimes blocks Iraq inquiry

Blair’s war crimes blocks Iraq inquiry

Anti-war campaigners are to hold a protest against ex-UK Prime Minister 

Tony Blair in London on November 13, 2012.

The Iraq inquiry is not to report before autumn 2013

due to the UK government’s reluctance to release

papers showing former British Prime Minister Tony

Blair’s conspiracy with ex-US President George

Bush in waging an illegal war against the Arab

country.

The inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot said earlier that

he will not be ready to publish the reports on the truth of

ritain’s involvement in the Iraq war before the middle

of 2013, two years behind schedule.

Reg Keys, the father of Lance Corporal Tom Keys,

who was killed in Iraq in 2003, and a founder of the

campaign group Military Families against the War

said the delay was “frustrating”.

“I can understand why Blair and a few others don't

want things to come out because there was

deceit behind closed doors. But for me and the

other families the delays just keep poking a

wound that you're trying to heal. You try to put

things in a box but until this is done and dusted

you can't move on,” he said.

Earlier in June, Sir John wrote to British Prime

Minister David Cameron, saying that his ability

to publish a "balanced, fair and accurate" 

report was being hampered by the Cabinet

Office, The Stop the War Coalition campaign 

group reported.

The Inquiry has cost £6.1 million so far.

It is estimated that another year of investigation

could cost the public an extra £1.4 million.
