A Jack Straw that's nothing like the song - Dossier on Iraq weapons...

This is screwed up

From the TimesOnline:

"A confidential draft document about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction...bears a strong resemblance to the Government’s 2002 dossier that provided justification for the 2003 invasion.

"The early version, drawn up by John Williams in 2002 when he was press secretary to Jack Straw, Foreign Secretary at the time, was published yesterday..."

The Brittish Government has long maintained the Williams was his work alone and that it played no part in the formulation of the official dossier, (per the "Times", written by the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), and published in September 2002.)

But they're the same folks, "similar intelligence judgments about the threat from Iraq, although they appear in a different order."

Well, we saw what Gen. Powell said in the end about those "weapons of mass destruction".

("It's the End of the World as we Know it" running through my head... but don't know that I feel fine. Let me try to get "Jack Straw" in my head instead...lets all sing along shall we? Change the words to fit this one perhaps?)
