Foreign Secretary David Miliband has published an early draft of the UK's infamous dossier on Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

The document, by Foreign Office press chief John Williams, was an unpublished draft of the dossier which was unveiled by Tony Blair on 24 September 2002.

The Foreign Office failed in its appeal against the Information Commissioner's order that it should release the draft.

It had said publishing it could inhibit the "effective conduct of government".

1. Still hiding something

>The tribunal also revealed that the draft was "annotated in two different persons' handwriting, suggesting that at least one person other than the author had reviewed and commented on it".

However, the tribunal has ordered that one of the handwritten notes should be taken off the draft when it is released.<
