    I'm pretty sure (10%) that last time this came up it was said that decisions made on the Iraq invasion would have to be kept secret for 50 years. Otherwise there would be great public anger, hangings etc, I expect.

      In the days of the 24 hour news cycle, CNN, BBCNews24 et al, the only impression that can be given by holding this in private is that the government (note: not parliament but the government) have something to hide.

      Was it not Labour who said "if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear"?
      I agree they probably have a shed loads of nasties hidden from us...but...a public enquiry would damage the army forces ability to operate and deep down we all know this...

      Seems pointless to get wound up about something which is pretty clear cut that is all I was thinking

            The army are only following the orders of politicians that in the main have no military experience and will not have to bear the consequences of their decisions...

                  What is 'plain and clear' is that this government do not trust the people of this country enough to let the truth about the background to this illegal war be known.
