An evening with Andrew WilkieWhere: Rooty Hill Uniting Church 86 Rooty Hill Rd North, Rooty HillWhen: 08 March 2004 Start time: 7:15pm
Reflections on a year since his controversial resignation from the Office of National Assessment over Iraqi WMD's.
Andrew Wilkie, a senior intelligence officer with the Office of Nation Assessment, resigned only weeks before the beginning of the war in Iraq in protest over the line the Howard government was taking. He openly criticised their selective use of intelligence to justify war based on Weapons of Mass Destruction. While the conflict continues, and increasing numbers of civilians and troops are being killed, there are many important questions that need to be addressed: Why have no weapons of mass destruction been found in Iraq? What was the pre-war intelligence? Why did the government ignore it? Was Saddam an imminent threat? Why was Wilkie punished and personally attacked for speaking out? Has he been vindicated? Come along and listen to Andrew's recollections of the past year, and feel free to ask any questions in the public forum.
