Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Dossier did not justify war, Taylor told No 10: "A senior Labour MP told the inquiry yesterday that Downing Street's controversial arms dossier on Iraq had failed to provide enough evidence to justify action against Saddam Hussein.
Ann Taylor, the former cabinet minister who was handpicked by the prime minister to chair the parliamentary security and intelligence committee after the last election, outlined her reservations in an email to Downing Street six days before the dossier was published last year.
'Hardest question not answered. Why Saddam Hussein and why now,' Mrs Taylor wrote in the email, which was disclosed to the Hutton inquiry yesterday. "
