Government left 'paper trail' in build-up to war
*20 Mar 2009 A former diplomat at the centre of events in the run-up to the
Iraq war revealed yesterday that the government has a "paper trail" that
could reveal new information about the legality of the invasion.
Carne Ross, who was a first secretary at the United Nations in New York for the
Foreign
Office until 2004, told MPs:
"A lot of facts about the run-up to this war have yet to come to light which
should come to light and which the public deserves to know..."
He told the inquiry that the *intelligence made it "very clear" that Saddam
Hussein did not pose a significant threat to the UK, as was being claimed at
the time by ministers, and that tougher
enforcement of sanctions could have brought his regime down.
