This inquiry may not close the lid on the Iraq discussion for Britain say experts. Nick Grief, professor of international law at the University of Bournemouth said " historians will go on writing and thinking about and discussing iraq for many years come".
He said the Iraq war decision will be studied by law students as a case for examining the importance of the rule of law. The Iraq war was a major invasion by the only remaining super power in the world and some of its closest allies which he believes 'lacked the necessary legal authority', which he said is why it won't be forgotten.
Evidence
The Inquiry has launched its own website so anyone who feels they have information which may help can contact the panel. It also provides background information about the Inquiry. Chairman of the panel Sir John Chilcot says 'this inquiry is aiming for maximum transparency' and 'are hoping to televise the hearings through streaming on the internet'. The evidence received will be out in the open for people to see. Journalist Chris Ames said this could help verify the authenticity of evidence already in the public domain by way of leaks.
Conclusion?
What the inquiry's conclusion will be is something we'll have to wait till after the general election to see.
