Sir
You stated the Iraq Inquiry would not apportion blame, but if it produces evidence that this country’s invasion and occupation of Iraq was illegal, then the public deserves that the matter not be allowed to rest there. As it is, the Inquiry’s Legal Advisor Sarah Goom has confirmed that if the Inquiry receives any ‘new evidence that criminal offences have been committed’, it would be obliged to refer that evidence to the appropriate investigating authority.
You also said the Inquiry is not ‘here to provide public sport or entertainment.’ Justified public outrage is neither, and must be fully and appropriately addressed. You added, ‘We ask fair questions and we expect full and truthful answers.’ Given Tony Blair’s past public assertions on Iraq, the public expects great depth and persistence when you examine him, with particular and detailed attention being addressed to all relevant issues of international law.
