Guardian: Reports that the UK Foreign Office has lost its appeal against the release of a transcript of a private telephone call between the then UK PM Tony Blair and President Bush before the Iraq War.
Lets Get Real:
Folks at the end of the day the UK Cabinet can veto this request under national security considerations. The Cabinet of late placed a veto on the release of review of the reforms of the NHS written by Civil Servants. Thus when it comes to documents that concern the Iraq War and the UK and US relationship it can be expected that a VETO will be used, no PM wants to annoy the US, no matter what President Obama thinks of Bush 43 he would not want his calls to UK leaders to be open to release under freedom of information. This will not happen folks.
