Although primarily focusing on the reported suicide of Dr. David Kelly, the Hutton Inquiry has revealed much of the inner workings of Downing Street, the Ministry of Defense and the BBC.

The arguments and testimony gathered here examine the criminal implications of the British government's decision to use force against Iraq.
