Iraq War Debate

As mentioned in class, here is the Memo of the Attorney General for the United Kingdom, providing his legal opinion on the legality of an invasion of Iraq, provided to the Prime Minister just prior to the war.

For those who are interested, you can spend several hours watching the testimony of not only Lord Goldsmith, but other members of cabinet, in the subsequent inquiry into the decision to invade Iraq.

In preparing for the debate you might also want to look at the full text of UN Security Council resolutions 678, 687, and 1441, which you can access through the links on the right.
