    Will they ever get it?

    BBC reporting that the iraq inquiry is being held in secret. These politicians just don't get it do they?

    No. Appalling.

    What the hell is the point of the enquiry if the public can't see it?

    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

      Was never going to be in public considering its real impact on National Security...

      That said I share you bemusement at the political system in general...

        I expect Gordo is just trying to emulate his hero Thatch again - the Falklands one was secret too.

          Maybe they need to talk about secret stuff like WMD's and not let the public know how they f**cked up so bad....

              I just recalled that Jacko made all the Cabinet minutes on Iraq secret...and as that is the juicy bit..well what's the point in an enquiry?

                real impact on Labour embarrassment

                In the days of the 24 hour news cycle, CNN, BBCNews24 et al, the only impression that can be given by holding this in private is that the government (note: not parliament but the government) have something to hide.

                Was it not Labour who said "if you've nothing to hide, you've nothing to fear"?

                    True and it was founded on a pretty straightforward event - but we've never had any details of the enquiry we paid for.
