Block on Blair's letters to Bush delays publication of Iraq war report by another year

The publication of the final report from the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq War has been delayed for another year because officials are refusing to allow Tony Blair’s private messages to George W. Bush to be released.
The delay was announced today by inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot in a letter to David Cameron. It means the committee’s final judgement will not be delivered until at least a decade after the war.
Sir John complains that the inquiry team’s ability to publish ‘a balanced, fair and accurate’ report is being undermined by the refusal of Whitehall officials to let them publish the documents on which their conclusions are based.
Intelligence papers relating to MI5, MI6, the listening post GCHQ and the deliberations of the Joint Intelligence Committee are understood to be among the messages being held back.But in his letter, Sir John also makes clear he wants the government to release Mr Blair’s private letters to President Bush, which are understood to show that he committed in principle to support a US war in Iraq long before he came clean with the public.
He also wants to be able to show the public details of deliberations in Cabinet over the war, which are likely to expose the true nature of the discussion over the legality of the conflict and the degree to which ministers were in the dark about the intelligence case for war.
