UK: Straw blocks publication of pre-Iraq war discussionFrank Prenesti | London | February 24 Justice Secretary Jack Straw used a ministerial veto to block the request made under the Freedom of Information Act, saying the release of the records would "in my judgement risk serious damage to Cabinet government." "The decision to take military action has been examined with a fine-tooth comb; we have been held to account for it in this House and elsewhere," Straw said in a statement to parliament. "But the duty to advance that interest further cannot supplant the public interest in maintaining the integrity of our system of government." nymole February 24, 2009 - 2:43pm
