Some selected bits - these are quotes from former director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald.

Macdonald blasts 'sycophant' Blair
(UKPA) – 23 hours ago
One of Tony Blair's most senior civil servants has launched a savage attack on the former Prime Minister over the Iraq war.
Sir Ken Macdonald, who was director of public prosecutions for much of Mr Blair's premiership, accused him of "sycophancy" towards Washington and using "alarming subterfuge" to mislead the British people into the conflict.

He added: "It is now very difficult to avoid the conclusion that Tony Blair engaged in an alarming subterfuge with his partner George Bush and went on to mislead and cajole the British people into a deadly war they had made perfectly clear they didn't want, and on a basis that it's increasingly hard to believe even he found truly credible."

Sir Ken said the questioning so far of the panel had been "unchallenging", adding: "If Chilcot fails to reveal the truth without fear in this Middle Eastern story of violence and destruction, the inquiry will be held in deserved and withering contempt."
