James Meek gets a preview of David Hare's take on the Iraq war
On the north bank of the choppy Thames, the grand citadels of Britain's
state power stood high, illuminated and mostly deserted: the Ministry
of Defence, Parliament. Opposite, on the South Bank, those who have walked
those corridors trod a circular stage in a different arena, with a different
kind of power: Tony Blair, Jack Straw, Alastair Campbell, Geoff Hoon.
George W Bush was there, and Laura Bush, and Dick Cheney, and Colin Powell,
and Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz; there
was George Tenet, and John McCain, and Trevor McDonald and Robin Cook.
