"That was my impression at the time but, you know, I just thought 'well this is the intelligence document, this is what you have'.
"It seems robust but not enough to justify to that. Certainly what they do in intelligence is a bit of tittle-tattle here and a bit more information there."
So that's clear then.

Is it my imagination, or has Prescott's accent and speaking voice got noticeably posher since he was elevated?
And yes.
When many of us pre-invasion questioned the veracity of the WMD intelligence and suggested that:
1. The Iraqis were as likely to be a threat to us as Dale Winton in a harem
2. Saddam would be bragging about his big weapons because bragging was all he had to keep his enemies at bay
3. His exiled rivals would big-up his capabilities because they wanted the west to oust him and put them in power
the government said No. We have robust intelligence so we will join the americans in this jolly adventure.
No accountability from them now it seems!

THE WAR WAS ILLEGAL!
Who said so, the UN.
Lord Goldsmith is reported to have said that there was a strong argument in law that it was up to the UN, not Britain, to decide whether Iraq had defied international calls to disarm. This was the view held at the time by every other member of the Security Council, apart from Britain and the US
Prescott is just compounding the felony.
