The federal government deliberately skewed the truth and misled the public over Iraq's weapons capabilities, a parliamentary inquiry has heard.
Andrew Wilkie, a former intelligence analyst with the Office of National Assessments, today launched a scathing attack on the government and Prime Minister John Howard over pre-war intelligence.
Mr Wilkie, who quit ONA ahead of the war, alleged the government fabricated the truth and deliberately exaggerated the threat posed by Iraq to keep in step with its American allies.
