Oh Excellent, Excellent!
- What I want to know is when the perpetrators of the [war] myths ... can be expected to offer their apologies. Judging by Tam Dalyell's performance on the Today programme yesterday, not just yet.
He now seems to be amending the forecast of millions of children killed to millions of children traumatised: a sad enough notion, certainly, but a mite different from the one that was being bandied about by the more hysterical anti-war lobby a week or two ago.
I have this delightful fantasy of George Galloway, Shirley Williams, Chris Smith, Frank Dobson, most of the BBC newsroom, the entire Liberal Democrat Party and the Guardian comment page editorial staff putting their hands up en masse and saying: "Well, actually we got that a little bit wrong."
