cannot imagine why One wonders. "Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens And keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again And don’t speak too soon, for the wheel’s still in spin And there’s no telling who that it’s naming For the loser now will be later to win For the times, they are a-changin’ " - B.

cannot imagine why Tony Blair has not been recalled Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith started by demanding to know whether Prime Minister Tony Blair would dismiss Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon if it became clear that he had misled the Intelligence and Security Committee. The Prime Minister retorted that it would be "quite wrong" to make any judgements on the parliamentary 's report on Iraq until it is published. A leaked Intelligence and Security Committee report allegedly shows that Mr Hoon withheld evidence from their investigation. from itv.com and Britain's intelligence chiefs warned Prime Minister Tony Blair a month before the invasion of Iraq that military action would increase the threat of terrorism and the risk of terrorists obtaining weapons of mass destruction, according to a parliamentary report released today. The report said a Feb. 10 assessment by the top-secret Joint Intelligence Committee -- a cabinet-level body that includes the chiefs of Britain's main intelligence agencies -- concluded that the collapse of Saddam Hussein's government "would increase the risk of chemical and biological warfare technology or agents finding their way into the hands of terrorists." The joint committee also concluded that "al Qaeda and associated groups continued to represent by far the greatest terrorist threat to Western interests, and that threat would be heightened by military action against Iraq," according to the report, which was issued by the House of Commons Intelligence and Security Committee. from washingtonpost.com lurqer
