OK, this is vague as all I've seen is a snippet. More in an hour when Channel 4 news (who have the story) comes on.
Channel 4 claim that they have evidence that the Attorney General did not write the legal advice to the UK government that cleared the UK for war in
Iraq.
They claim this important piece of advice was written by "Downing Street insiders".
If this is true it could have grave consequences. It could mean that the war was illegal under British law. It would be bad news for any Prime
Minister that sent troops to war on the basis of his cronies advice and without a clear go ahead from the top lawyer in the country.
More on ATSNN later.
