Subject: RE: BS: Should a Minister keep a secret?
Personally I think all of this is a good thing. I kinda do trust people of resposibility to be responsible in matters of State, but this whole Iraq affair has shone certain spotlights in places that have never really undergone any public scrutiny before, because of the obvious nature of their work.
But until the public is satisfied that they are sending their sons and daughters to fight a 'justified' war, I think some of those who make these descisions should be accountable as to how they use and interpret this intelligence.
