Will they ever get it?

My point is that a report was never necessary. The UK population supported Thatcher by a massive majority and the report was only done for Labour's party political purposes who had an axe to grind over our best PM since Churchill.

I would also argue that a report over Iraq is not necessary because we all know that Blair lied. It will achieve nothing except cement Brown's job at least until August.

I see you still haven't answered the actual question asked. Either it is too hard for you to understand or you are avoiding it - perhaps you should take up politics.

Hmm so why was the Franks report into the Falklands (cited by Millipede as the model for this one) secret? Presumably for exactly the same reasons.

... because in those days that was normal procedure. Under Brown we are supposed to be more open.

So it was "normal procedure" - like MPs "just following the rules" on expenses. If it's wrong (and it is) for the Iraq report to be secret, then it was wrong then (as I said at the time).
