“David Dimbleby’s style of teasing details out of his interviewees may not suit all, but from a U.K. perspective, hearing Alastair Campbell, twisting as he searches for a plausible sound bite to justify his previous mendacity certainly achieves its aim.
Hearing Tony Blair, with his hubristic style, speak over the episodes but most especially in 6, reminds us how he signed up to the Bush Doctrine - come what may..
Hearing his statement to Parliament again, containing those half truths and the blatant reinterpretation of the intelligence, really is delivered with a worrying messianic zeal.
The perfect storm of this, a supine Head of the JIC , Foreign Sec’ and cabinet, together with a malleable Attorney General and his volte face on legal advice, in effect created (as they saw it), ‘Jus ad bellum’ ...
If however you prefer and can cope with the ‘shock jock’ approach, then the blowback podcast on the Iraq war might just be for you.
The Bush Doctrine receives even more scrutiny there.”

“There’s no opinion, there’s no bias - in simple terms laying out the war in Iraq as and how it unfolded. Finishing with a chilling insight in to post Saddam Iraq. A great listen.”
