"There must be a fully independent public inquiry into how this was allowed to happen. The time when Brown has been able to hide behind our troops' ongoing presence in the country is coming to an end.
"The death and injury of hundreds of British troops and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians in this futile war cannot simply be swept under the carpet."
Here in Dundee, City Council LibDem Group Leader, Cllr Fraser Macpherson, added, "The Iraq invasion was a disaster and a fully independent public inquiry is now vital."
