Liberal Democrats at the rally against war in Iraq

Charles Kennedy, Leader of the Liberal Democrats, responding to the publication in full of the Attorney-General's legal advice, said "If Tony Blair couldn't trust his own Cabinet with the full facts, if he couldn't trust the Commons, then why should the country trust him on May 5th?"

On the Conservatives, Mr Kennedy added "Michael Howard's Tories have prejudged and misjudged over Iraq every step of the way. They prejudged and misjudged the case for war. They prejudged and misjudged the Hutton Inquiry. They prejudged and misjudged the Butler Inquiry. They are every bit as guilty and culpable as the Government. They must not be allowed to distract attention from their own uncritical support for the war."
