Details of the "gist" of talks between Tony Blair and George Bush before the Iraq war are to be published, the UK's Chilcot inquiry says.

But transcripts and full notes of conversations will remain secret, at the request of the government.

The agreement between the inquiry and Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood could clear the way for the report to be published this year.

It is thought to have been delayed by wrangling over what could be released.

I wonder how much money that cost the Poodle?

1. Yeah, we already know what the gist was...

...we want the details and nothing less...

3. I think the "gist" is a euphemism for "nothing."

2. "Do you think we can put this one over on them?"

"Sure, we've got Fox with us"
