I THINK it outrageous that the Iraq War inquiry will not publish in full the correspondence between Blair and Bush before their attack on Iraq.

This illegal war cost a minimum of 100,000 innocent lives in that country and many of our brave servicemen. Sadly the military are often pawns in the hands of politicians who are not brought to account for their monstrous actions.

It is an utterly feeble excuse to assert that letters between statesmen are private and should not be placed fully in the public domain. Prime Ministers and Presidents are simply servants of the people who elect them. We have therefore every right to know their correspondence leading to horrendous wars.

I strongly feel that there is a ‘cover-up’ to prevent us knowing the truth about the clandestine relationship between Blair and Bush.
