(Australian) Sacked weapons adviser tells: I won't lie ('sexing up' again)
A SENIOR Defence adviser has been sacked after refusing to write media briefings that supported claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.

Engineer and analyst Jane Errey was an adviser to former Chief Defence Scientist Dr Ian Chessell and wrote briefings for Defence Minister Robert Hill. Her job at Defence gave her access to secret intelligence on Iraq's weaponry from the Defence Intelligence Organisation and the Office of National Assessments.

Ms Errey claims that on the day before the Iraq war started, she was asked to write what she believed was "sexed-up" propaganda about Iraq's capabilities.

The next day -- March 20 last year -- she went on holiday rather than write what she claimed would have been a misleading briefing.

1. Has junior got the whole world hypnotized?
I don't get it. I hope this takes John Howard down and out the door of no return.

2. He's got Howard and Blair hypnotised for sure
Howard still screaming about Mark Latham's plan to bring troops home but no apology for telling lies to take us into war.

they have no shame.
