PM rules out WMD inquiry - - http://www.smh.com.au: "Mr Howard ruled out following Britain and the United States in calling an inquiry into the intelligence, saying Australians should wait for the report of a parliamentary committee inquiry into the issue.
'We actually have had a parliamentary inquiry and the first term of reference ... is the nature, the accuracy, the independence of the intelligence that was relied on,' Mr Howard said.
'So on the merits of it, it could be said that we've already had the inquiry and maybe the sensible thing to do is to let the public see what is in that report.
'I have actually seen the report but I am not allowed to talk about it because it's not my report, it's a parliamentary committee report.'"
