In the fourth hearing, Britain's former envoy to Iraq says British forces in Iraq should mostly be confined to their bases to avoid becoming dragged into feuds between rival political militias. In contrast, influential US academic, Dr Fred Kagan, criticises the British troops for their 'softly softly' approach and calls for more aggressive patrolling.
Witnesses include: Sir Jeremy Greenstock (Britain's former Special Representative in Iraq); David Horgan (Managing Director of Petrel Resources PLC); Andrew Alderson (Chief Executive, Gulf Capital); Dr Fred Kagan (Military historian and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute); Peter Bergen (Al-Qaeda expert, writer, and terrorism analyst for CNN); Rt Hon Sir Malcolm Rifkind MP (former Conservative Foreign Secretary); and Salama al Khafaji (former member of the Iraqi Governing Council).
