Well, Tony Blair has his smile back. It's less political than the US Senate's 9/11 Commission anti-Bush bash. It shows that, given the history of saddam & what we knew (or thought we knew) the war was justified.
BBC said:
Iraqi weapons
Before the war Iraq wanted to get banned weapons, including a nuclear programme
Iraq was developing ballistic missiles with a longer range than allowed
It would be rash to say now that no evidence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programmes will ever be found
Uranium from Niger
British intelligence on the claim that Iraq had sought uranium from Niger was "credible". There was not conclusive evidence Iraq actually purchased the material, nor did the government make that claim.
Mobile biological weapons laboratories
It was "reasonable" for intelligence chiefs to report about Iraq seeking more mobile biological weapons labs
Joint Intelligence committee (JIC)
No evidence has been found of "deliberate distortion or of culpable negligence"
In general, original intelligence was reported correctly in JIC assessments, with the exception of the 45-minute claim In January 2000, the Joint Intelligence Committee said Bin Laden had some toxic chemical or biological materials and an understanding of their use. But there was no hard intelligence he owned genuine nuclear material
