Iraq intelligence inquiry announced - FEBruary 5, 2004
Today, the Blair government announced plans for an inquiry into its intelligence on Iraq's WMD. Answering repeated calls by the opposition and anti-war groups for a completely independent inquiry, the government said it would independently select one of its oldest cronies to carry out the investigation.
The announcement comes a day after the Bush administration ordered a similar inquiry into US pre-war intelligence. A government spokesman insisted, however, that the British inquiry was not simply a reaction to the American inquiry, adding “No really, it isn’t. Honest. Stop saying that.”
Before the government’s WMD intelligence inquiry commences, an inquiry will be held into whether the inquiry should labelled an ‘inquiry’ or ‘enquiry’ and the whether it should referred to ‘independent’ or ‘independant’.
In other inquiry news, the CBS network is launching an inquiry into yesterday’s Super Bowl halftime show incident, in which pop star Justin Timberlake popped off part of Janet Jackson's corset, exposing her breast. The team of MTV producers who produced the halftime show are blaming bad intelligence on the breast and have ordered an inquiry.
This Thursday, The Comedy Tree will begin a series of inquiries into inquiries that have looked into other inquiries. The investigation will feature the sensational Aussie inquisitor Mickey D, with the quizzical Mr Andrew Bird, the curious Stephen Carlin, and the probing Brandi Borr. American MC E. McElroy will be shooting first and asking questions later.
