In London on Tuesday the British public inquiry into the Iraq war heard a staggering revelation.
A taxi driver, peddling fares along Iraq's border with Jordan, was the one who told British intelligence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction capable of hitting Britain in less than an hour's flying time from Baghdad.
And they believed him!
We know this because the claim turned up in a 2002 so-called "dodgy" dossier that was partly used to justify Britain joining the U.S. led invasion of Iraq six months later.
