5. Iraq war legal advice published

Downing Street has published the attorney general's full advice on the legality of the Iraq war, after part of it was leaked to the media.

In the 7 March 2003 document, Lord Goldsmith told Tony Blair a second UN resolution was the safest legal course.

Ten days later his advice to Parliament raised no such concerns about legality.

Michael Howard suggested MPs had been "tricked" into voting for war. Charles Kennedy urged Mr Blair to "come clean". Mr Blair defended his actions.
