Australian PM Accuses Predecessor of Abusing Iraq Intelligence

HeadlineJun 04, 2008

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has accused his predecessor of abusing intelligence to justify the invasion of Iraq. Rudd criticized former Prime Minister John Howard for failing to disclose the qualified nature of the intelligence on Iraq to the Australian people. Rudd said, “We must learn from Australia’s experience in the lead-up to going to war with Iraq and not repeat the same mistakes in the future.” Australia is in the process of withdrawing its 2,000 troops from Iraq.
