Peter - thanks for that.
Some risible comments on that thread.
Carne Ross is behaving courageously, but I think he points the finger in the wrong direction when he writes:
I do not believe that the core problem is "government bureaucracy".
Rather it is the deep political forces which operate to shape and manipulate geopolitical events, and the public record of such events.
"Government bureaucracy" is a tool occasionally used by these deep political forces.
Carne Ross is confused when he equates this "government bureaucracy" with the "deep state".

Quote:I (Carne Ross) testified last week to the Chilcot inquiry. My experience demonstrates an emerging and dangerous problem with the process. This is not so much a problem with Sir John Chilcot and his panel, but rather with the government bureaucracy – Britain's own "deep state" – that is covering up its mistakes and denying access to critical documents.
