The Chilcot Report Into Iraq Has Been Published: Some Key Points

July 6, 2016 Stephen Knight 22 comments

The Chilcot report into the 2003 invasion of Iraq was published earlier today after a 7 year long investigation. The document is made up of 12 volumes and contains 2.6 million words. Much of the interest from the public and those that served in the war (and the families who lost loved ones) centres around whether or not then Prime Minister Tony Blair lied to the British public during his push for war.
