An Australian parliamentary inquiry has concluded the government did not doctor intelligence on Iraqi weapons in the run-up to the war, a newspaper report says.
Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Tuesday there was "no evidence" Canberra had "sexed-up" the threat of Iraq's WMDs.
"I don't think any of these inquiries in America, Britain or here are going to reveal anything terribly exciting or surprising. There's been no evidence to suggest that the British, the American and the Australian governments were lying," Reuters reports him as saying.
Downer on Monday evening defended the Australian government's decision to join the war saying there was "no doubt" that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had WMD programs.
"What we clearly weren't wrong about was that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction programs and that's been reinforced by what [chief U.S. weapons inspector] David Kay has said and what the Iraq Survey Group has shown," Downer told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Lateline program.
