Blair's Lies are being laughed at by experts

[Nihil]

Have a glance at the following article in the Guardian:

(Apologies if this was posted yesterday but I didn't see it here or LBN).

Imagine you are a retired and very proud guards officer watching
trooping the colour. How embarrassed and puzzled you would feel if
things started to go wrong. Small things, initially, that others not
brought up in the system might not notice. The columns of scarlet-clad
troops slightly out of sync with the marching music. Some of the
orders being given by men in suits rather than by the sergeant majors
on parade. I used to work for the defence intelligence staff (DIS)
and the Cabinet Office assessments staff - who draft the papers for
the joint intelligence committee (JIC) and intelligence reports for
No 10 - and that's how I felt during the Hutton inquiry, and how I
feel now.
...
When the report came I was puzzled at first - serious people seemed
to be taking it so seriously. And then everyone started to laugh.

The author (Lieutenant Colonel Crispin Black) worked for defence
intelligence from 1994-96 and was on the intelligence assessment
staff from 1999-2002 so he is not just some ignorant political
commentator ...

Thanks for posting this.

Excerpt:
...that weird "last call" for intelligence like Henry II raving about Thomas a' Becket - with "who will furnish me with the intelligence I need" substituted for "who will rid me of that turbulent priest".
