Butler Report: Intelligence on Iraq 'seriously flawed'
British intelligence reports on Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction in the run up to the Iraq war were “open to doubt” and “seriously flawed”, the Butler Inquiry said today.
The inquiry said that when the British government began considering military action against Iraq in March 2002, the intelligence was “insufficiently robust” to justify claims that Iraq was in breach of United Nations resolutions requiring it to disarm.
