FURTHER to Wendy Hands' letter on the West's intelligence failure (You Say, October 2) Tony Blair's much-anticipated dossier against Iraq also turned out to be a damp squib.
His dossier was full of rhetoric and hostile statements but lacked any substantial evidence to justify a war on Iraq.
Perhaps Messrs Bush and Blair ought to qualify their accusations of Saddam's weapons of mass distraction and the killing of his own people.
It was British engineering companies - sanctioned by our own Government - that supplied Saddam with various parts to build his famous super gun.
Also, when Saddam was going the West's bidding against Iran - during the Iran and Iraq war - both the CIA and MI5 provided Saddam with lists of Iraqis dissidents, whom he then bombed and gassed to destruction.
Let Messrs Bush and Blair explain that tangled web of deceit and counter-deceit, that was woven on our behalf.
