Release the legal advice which allowed Britain to go to war with Iraq
Sign Now
This is a petition to Tony Blair to disclose the full legal advice given to him, which allowed him to take Britain to war in Iraq. A formal application has been made by The Independent newspaper under the Freedom of Information Act for ministers to publish the advice given to the Prime Minister by Lord Goldsmith, the Attorney General.
This act is supposed to open up government, but is a complete waste of time if the Government can pick and choose which information it discloses. A letter to the newspaper from the Department of Constitutional Affairs (DCA) said "the Act provided that information was exempt if it was covered by legal professional privilege, which applied to the Attorney General's advice."
The DCA said this reflects a public interest in protecting the confidentiality of communications between lawyers and their clients. If you, like me believe that this is utter rubbish and is being used as an excuse not to disclose the information, please sign this petition and email the website link to as many people as you know. And if anyone happens to know Tony Blair's email address please send it to him as well.
