Top British ex-diplomat blasts US invasion of Iraq

By Agence France Presse

07/17/05 “AFP” – – One of Britain’s most senior former diplomats has branded the US invasion of Iraq “politically illegitimate” in an incendiary new book that the government has moved to block, a British newspaper reported.

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, who was British ambassador to the United Nations during the run-up to the 2003 invasion, makes the comments in a book entitled “The Cost of War”, excerpts of which were quoted in Sunday’s The Observer.

UN negotiations “never rose over the level of awkward diversion for the US administration”, he charges in an extract published in the paper.</i>

Lets hope this book finds its way to shelves at some point.
