Ainsworth confirms whitewash.

From the PM interview with Mr Ainsworth this evening:

Interviewer: "So here we have an enquiry behind closed doors, no-one will be blamed, there will be no compunction on people to appear, and no legal obligation to tell the truth; it's going to be a really searching enquiry isn't it Mr Ainsworth?"

Ainsworth: "I think this is - when you take the kind of cynicism that's dripping from you away from this for a moment - is probably the best way that we will have in anything like a reasonable timescale of of learning the lessons that I think we really need to learn from our involvement in Iraq."

Interviewer: "You've accused me of cynicism was anything I said factually incorrect?"

Ainsworth: "No, it was your tone of voice."

So there we have it - a searching and valuable inquiry into why this country went to war with Iraq - NOT.
