| Tuesday 12 January 2010 2230 GMT - BBC Two Presented by Jeremy Paxman Tony Blair's former director of communications has told the Iraq war inquiry that any allegation that he distorted intelligence was 'simply untrue' and that he "defends every single word" of the 2002 dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Alastair Campbell also told the inquiry that Tony Blair was a man of "really deep conviction and integrity" making the "most difficult decision of his premiership", but called former ambassador Christopher Meyer "glib" in his assessment of the impact of the war decision on the US/UK relationship. David Grossman has been watching Alastair Campbell's performance and will be considering if the Chilcot inquiry will ever deliver any real answers. Tonight we will be speaking to Lord Falconer, who was one of Tony Blair's closest allies in government. Meanwhile, Peter Marshall has been following proceedings at an inquiry into the Netherlands' support for the invasion of Iraq. The Dutch Committee of Inquiry on Iraq said UN Security Council resolutions did not "constitute a mandate for... intervention in 2003". The inquiry was launched after foreign ministry memos were leaked that cast doubt on the legal basis for the war. Richard Watson will be explaining why a radical Islamist group that planned to march through Wootton Bassett is to be banned under counter-terrorism laws. And then we have part two of Tales from Guantanamo. Former prison guard Brandon Neely flies in from the US to be reunited with two former prisoners from the UK who he contacted on Facebook because he wanted to apologise to them for his part in their imprisonment. Scroll down to watch Tales from Guantanamo part one. Do join Jeremy Paxman for all that and more at 10.30pm on BBC Two. |
