| 3/20/23 | 7. Terror | The invasion of Iraq was supposed to be about dealing with security threats but the chaos would turbo-charge extremism both within Iraq and in the UK.

| 3/13/23 | 4. The Inspectors | While politicians were making bold claims about weapons of mass destruction, inside Iraq UN inspectors were hunting for them and finding nothing.

| 3/13/23 | 3. The Spies | The case for war would be made based on the idea of a threat from Weapons of Mass destruction. And spies would be used to help sell it.

| 3/13/23 | 1. The Decision | Why did the US want regime change in Iraq?
