At last, it begins... The Australian inquiry into government lies

Finally, after the Labour party finally resolved its leadership dispute, the move to investigate Australian government justification for the invasion of Iraq has begun. Of course - as one would expect - the investigations had already begun weeks earlier in the UK and US.

Tasmanian Labor MP, Harry Quick, says "American intelligence" is an oxymoron - "You know they produce whatever they need to justify going to war and if we're going to tag along as a third rate partner I just think we should have our own inquiry and see what results ensue from that," he said.
