Chilcot exposes how Blair kept ministers and generals in the dark | 6 July 2016 | Sir John Chilcot’s report is more than just a carefully worded, clearly argued dissection of the decisions that led Britain to go to war in 2003, and the failures thereafter. It amounts to an uncompromising and deeply critical exposition of the way Tony Blair conducted himself in office during this period. In page after page, the report highlights how the former prime minister appeared to be privately saying one thing “sotto voce” to George W Bush, while keeping many of his own ministers – and military commanders – almost completely in the dark. It also underlines how huge decisions about the legality of the war and the execution of the military campaign were never properly discussed at cabinet meetings.
