There’s not much to add to the story of the missing draft of the Iraqi dossier finally being released. The New Statesman, who have been following the story all along have some good coverage.

The general lack of media coverage and analysis across the board was a little surprising considering some of the more high profile casualties were newspaper editors and BBC director generals. But then I suppose ‘Compliant media treated like dickheads and used as propagandists by still-at-large war criminals‘ is a story most editors would balk at.

I doubt many of them wanted to be reminded – and to remind their readers – of their complicity. Journalists, eh? What was it Humbert Wolfe said?
