The Butler Report into the intelligence used to justify the Iraq war is out. Boy, it doesn’t look good for the intelligence services:

[BBC NEWS | Politics | At-a-glance: Butler report](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk%5Fpolitics/3892809.stm?ref=onemanandhisblog.com "BBC NEWS | Politics | At-a-glance: Butler report")

[The Channel 4 News report](http://www.channel4.com/news/2004/07/week%5F3/14%5Fbutler.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) is worth a read, too.

All in all, a fairly comprehensive kicking for both the intelligence services and the Government, which should be enough to give even the most ardent pro-war supporter pause. It’s a damn shame that nothing will change within the Government as a result, though. When did our politicians become so brazen that mistakes on this scale happen without anyone taking responsibility and resigning?

However, the more paranoid elements of the anti-war camp might also want to note that “No evidence was found that Britain went to war to secure continued access to oil supplies”.
