Alastair Campbell on his Role in the Invasion of Iraq | Q&A

This episode was broadcast on Monday, 22 July 2019. Jenny Grounds asked via Skype: The invasion of Iraq by the US supported by Australia and Britain certainly has contributed to a lot of mental and physical health problems in Iraqi people and Iraq war veterans, apart from tens of thousands of deaths. Could Alastair Campbell tell us whether he acknowledges this and whether the lies he told to manipulate Tony Blair's Britain to go to war has contributed to his own depression since then?

It is driven by interaction: Q&A provides a rare opportunity for Australian citizens to directly question and hold to account politicians and key opinion leaders in a national public forum and Q&A is broadcast live so that not only the studio audience but also the wider audience can get involved. We aim to create a discussion that is constructive, that reflects a diverse range of views and that provides a safe environment where people can respectfully discuss their differences. It’s impossible to represent every view on a single panel or in one audience but we’re committed to giving participants a fair go. In order to be as inclusive and diverse as possible, the program is presented from a range of locations around the country and all Australians are encouraged to get involved through social media as well as by joining the audience. This is an official Australian Broadcasting Corporation YouTube channel.
