updates: The Australian Labor government is attempting to hide secret cabinet documents from 2003 that could expose the lies and disinformation used to justify the invasion of Iraq. The government has announced a closed-door inquiry into the omission of 78 sensitive National Security Committee (NSC) papers from this year's release of 20-year-old cabinet documents. The inquiry is being conducted by Dennis Richardson, a long-time intelligence chief and top political operative who participated in all the NSC meetings. The documents that are eventually released will exclude any information deemed to threaten national security or relations with the US. The decision to go to war was made before the formal cabinet approval, and the Australian government had been involved in US planning for the war since 2002. The invasion resulted in an estimated one million Iraqi deaths and the displacement of three million people. The Labor government's attempt to bury the documents comes as it has joined another US-led war in Yemen without parliamentary approval. The government's move to retain unlimited war powers and reject proposals for formal decision-making processes indicates preparations for illegal wars against Russia and China. The Labor government's whitewash bid is in line with its previous support for US-led wars and its alignment with US imperialism. The burying of the 2003 Iraq war documents and the assertion of unfettered war powers by the government are warnings of deeper attacks on the working class and basic democratic rights [18b85d33].
