I am not one, who thinks all politicians lie or in the words of one journalist who interviews them, why is this lying bastard lying to me. Sure most of them don't tell the whole truth, but that's the way our political system and the media we live with is, making it impossible most of the time to tell the whole truth. But there is a difference between telling a half truth and out out lying, especially when it used as a justification to take our country to war. When i read histories of the second world war, i always laugh when i read that when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, Hitler told the German people that Poland had invaded Germany first. Of course when the empire was in full throttle a lot lies were told, when Britain annexed another part of the world to turn it red on the maps of the worlds of the time. And Suez was a terrible blot on our post war history, but thankfully that went disastrously wrong for Eden, who had to resign in shame.
But this government has got away with murder with it's reasons for taking us into the debacle that is Iraq. Most people still don't realise how shamelessly that they have been lied to over this issue. Chris Ames is an investigative journalist who has been exposing the lies they have told, and this is a short film by him, exposing what he has found out.

My Film, "Who wrote the Iraq Dossier?", is now viewable online. It includes a cracking interview with Andrew Gilligan who has a piece in the Press Gazette today arguing that journalists are still getting the story wrong on Iraq.
