"The attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, warned less than two weeks before the invasion of Iraq that military action could be ruled illegal."

"It appears that Lord Goldsmith never wrote an unequivocal formal legal opinion that the invasion was lawful, as demanded by Lord Boyce, chief of defence staff at the time."

"What was served up to parliament as the view of the attorney general turned out to be the view of two of the closest aides of the prime minister"

Tickling my nodes this week:

• Planes that never got built
• Animal astronauts
• The Poseidon undersea hotel
• H2G2 trailer: amazingly, this actually looks quite good.
• Paper robot wrestlers

Check out That Mitchell And Webb Sound - it's a new radio series from the guys behind Peep Show (which I rated as one of the best TV comedies of last year - hideously uncomfortable viewing).

This last weeks episode is particularly wooo for its skit on people complaining about cameraphones. Oh and the running bear gags. Bear gags good.
