Baghdad and the CPA come under review

More from the Iraq Inquiry blog

Good morning again from SW1, the QEII Conference Centre and the Iraq Inquiry.

I shall not lie, I’ve some catching up to do after a long weekend out of town – and look what I missed.

The former head of the Crown Prosecution Service laying into Blair in The Times , Blair himself telling Fern Britton he’d have gone to war even if he’d known there were no WMD and the Indy on Sunday reporting that key parts of his evidence will never be publicly revealed

Today’s witnesses address ‘Baghdad at the Time of the CPA’ and ‘Views from Basra 2004-06.’ The morning session sees the return of former UK ambassador to the UN and UK special envoy for Iraq Sir Jeremy Greenstock (previous evidence here http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/transcripts/oralevidence-bydate/091127.aspx). The afternoon resumes a military perspective with Lieutenant Generals William Rollo and John Cooper.
