From the U.K. Guardian (h/t digby):

Fresh questions over the legality of the Iraq war were raised today after the government admitted it could not substantiate its claim that Lord Goldsmith had changed his mind over the legal basis for the invasion before a highly controversial meeting with two of Tony Blair's closest allies.

The admission has revived allegations that the former attorney general was pressured to revise his opinion that an invasion could be illegal without an explicit UN resolution.

Opposition MPs have renewed calls for a full Iraq inquiry in light of the new information.

On 3/7/03 - 12 days before the US/UK invasion of Iraq - Attorney General Goldsmith

gave Blair a detailed legal opinion that doubted its legality...

On 17 March, he published a single-page parliamentary answer, asserting that the war would be legal on the basis of existing UN resolutions.

What changed Goldsmith's mind over those 10 days? One doesn't speak this way about Lords, but obviously someone put his nuts in a vice and turned the screw.

Given the disastrous consequences of Goldsmith's unexplained flip-flop, some in Parliament would like a truthful explanation, thank you very much.

Incredibly, there is no one in the U.S. Congress or the Corporate Media who is the least bit interested in the learning the truth about Bush's decision to invade Iraq. At his final press conference, Bush said he was "disappointed" there were no WMD's in Iraq, and the entire Washington Elite replies with a shrug. (Last night, Jon Stewart managed at least to ask WTF?)

In December, David Swanson and I sent an Op Ed to the NY Times proving Bush knew Iraq had no WMD's. The Times didn't publish it and didn't even bother to explain why. Instead it published an utterly absurd Op Ed by John Bolton and John Yoo arguing why the Senate should suddenly insist on treating international agreements as treaties after they spent 8 years shredding all treaties and negotiating executive-only agreements.

Someday the American people will get the real reason why Bush invaded Iraq. But it may require "enhanced interrogation" of Bush and Cheney to get it.
