British soldiers were sent to their deaths in Iraq because of Tony Blair’s “sycophancy” towards Washington and the failure of the governing class to speak the truth, a former prosecutions chief says today.
The Chilcot Inquiry will be held in contempt if it does a “whitewash” by omitting to disclose details of a “foreign policy disgrace of epic proportions”, Sir Ken Macdonald, QC, Director of Public Prosecutions until last year, says in an article for The Times.
In perhaps the most serious charges levelled by a former public servant against an ex-Prime Minister, Sir Ken says Mr Blair engaged in an “alarming subterfuge” with George Bush, and then misled and cajoled the British people into a war they did not want.
