Meyer book may reveal Iraq secrets
By Francis Elliott, Deputy Political Editor
22 May 2005


The first witness account of the summit at which Tony Blair committed Britain to join the US-led war in Iraq is to be published later this year.

Sir Christopher Meyer, Britain's former ambassador to Washington, is writing his memoirs, The Independent on Sunday has learnt.

The diplomat was present when Mr Blair met George Bush in the President's ranch in Crawford, Texas, in March 2002 and played a key role in the run-up to the war. His decision to go public will dismay Mr Blair who denies he agreed to "regime change" a year before the invasion.

The book, as yet untitled, is to due to be published on the eve of Labour's annual conference, a gathering that could prove deeply uncomfortable for the leader.

1. I hope it makes him more than "deeply uncomfortable".....

I hope Meyer lets it rip--perhaps by then this sort of news will get more coverage here in the US????

2. coverage where?

U.S. media dosn't cover, they cover up.

3. Not true

They only lag about six to eight months behind The Guardian.

I do SO look forward to that book. The Brits do know how to politely slice someone wide open and look so civilized while doing so. Scots aren't bad either, Galloway did one heck of a good job of it.
