It is being reported that the Chilcot Inquiry has asked to question several members of the USA government under George W Bush, including W himself. But get this! Others requested for questioning include
Dick Cheney
Condoleezza Rice
Donald Rumsfeld
Stephen Hadley
This is a very significant development, but I'm not confident of the Clean Break/PNAC agenda being exposed because these potential witnesses do not have to answer any questions from the inquiry.
But is this due to anyone writing to inquiry about the Clean Break/PNAC agenda?

Iraq Inquiry asks to question George Bush's senior officials
The Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War could take an explosive new twist after it emerged that leading figures in George Bush's administration have been asked to give evidence to it. By Patrick Hennessy, Political Editor
Published: 9:00PM GMT 20 Mar 2010
Requests are understood to have been made to Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and Stephen Hadley. Sources in Washington said the inquiry sent out emails "about three weeks ago" to senior officials in Mr Bush's government including, it is believed, the former president himself. Other requests are understood to have been made to Dick Cheney, Mr Bush's vice-president, Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state, Donald Rumsfeld, the former US defence secretary, and Stephen Hadley, an ex-national security adviser – as well as to their deputies and senior assistants.
Members of Sir John Chilcot's panel are believed to be willing to travel to the US to take evidence – almost certainly in private – on the administration's policies between the 2003 invasion of Iraq and 2009.
