Well, what do you know? Here I am living in Australia, taking a very active interest in international affairs, particularly our government's decision to go to war in Iraq, and I did not even know that an inquiry into our involvement in the Iraq war was already underway. I read several major news outlets every day, including the Sydney Morning Herald and the ABC News, yet until today I have seen nothing about this. But perhaps that is not surprising - the so-called enquiry appears to be nothing more than a government-sponsored waste of taxpayers' money. The head of the enquiry is a Liberal Party MP, David Jull, who says he is confident there will be no leaks from Australian intelligence agencies, who retain the right to decide what information they disclose.
