UK diplomat questions post of Jews on Iraq panel
By JONNY PAUL, JERUSALEM POST
CORRESPONDENT IN LONDON
The Jerusalem Post, Nov 25, 2009
A British diplomat has criticized the appointment
of two leading Jewish academics to the UK's Iraq Inquiry panel,
stating it may upset the balance of the inquiry.
Sir Oliver Miles, a former British ambassador to Libya, told
The Independent newspaper this week that the appointment of Sir
Martin Gilbert, the renowned Holocaust historian and Winston
Churchill biographer, and Sir Lawrence Freedman, professor of war
studies and vice-principal of King's College London, would be seen
as "ammunition" that could be used to call the inquiry a
"whitewash."
Miles said the two academics were Jewish and that Gilbert was an
active Zionist. He also said they were both strong supporters of
former prime minister Tony Blair and the Iraq war.
"Such facts are not usually mentioned in the mainstream British
and American media, but the Jewish Chronicle and the Israeli
media have no such inhibitions, and the Arabic media both in London
and in the region are usually not far behind," he told the
newspaper.
"It is a pity that, if and when the inquiry is accused of a
whitewash, such handy ammunition will be available," he added.
"Membership should not only be balanced; it should be seen to be
balanced."
The former ambassador also said that having two historians in a
panel of five "seems a lot" and also questioned the Jewish
academics' credentials.
"In December 2004 Sir Martin, while pointing out that the 'war on
terror' was not a third world war, wrote that Bush and Blair 'may
well, with the passage of time and the opening of the archives, join
the ranks of Roosevelt and Churchill' - an eccentric opinion that
would seem to rule him out as a member of the committee. Sir
Lawrence is the reputed architect of the 'Blair doctrine' of
humanitarian intervention, which was invoked in Kosovo and
Afghanistan as well as Iraq," Miles said.
A spokesman for the inquiry told The Jerusalem Post on
Tuesday that it was "not an issue" and therefore declined to
comment.
The investigation, which began on Tuesday, was launched by the UK
government and is expected to last months, with its findings likely
to be published in the summer of 2010. The inquiry will look at the
whole period from 2001 to 2009 to identify what lessons can be
learned from the Iraq conflict.
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
