Families lose Iraq inquiry appeal

Families of UK troops killed in Iraq have been told they cannot challenge the government's refusal to have an inquiry on the decision to go to war.
A judge at the High Court ruled they did not have an arguable case that should go before a full hearing.

...

The families of six wanted the prime minister "to be held accountable" in public if there were no legal basis for the conflict and its aftermath.

...

In a statement, Mrs Gentle said she was "disappointed" at the outcome and that the families still believed the decision to invade Iraq was based on "lies and deceit".

"All I want is for the prime minister to tell the truth about the war," she said.
