Not Dead Only Sleeping: The Attorney General’s Advice
The Guardian: MPs seek statement on Iraq war’s legality
Asked at his monthly press conference on Friday whether Lord Goldsmith’s answer to parliament was a “fair summary” of his legal advice, Tony Blair replied: “That’s what he said. And that’s what I say.”
But later on Friday, Lord Goldsmith insisted in a statement: “The answer did not purport to be a summary of my confidential legal advice to government.”
On November 6 2003, Lord Goldsmith told peers that his parliamentary answer was “a summary of my view of the legal position, rather than a detailed consideration of the legal issues”.
Christ, this is rapidly turning into a game of Find The Lady.
