The Children Overboard issue develops

No it is not - why did Howard not correct the record immediately.

As soon as he found out that his information may have been faulty, he told parliament. What more do you want?

or did they believed it at the time.

As a matter of interest, are you referring to the findings of the CDF report?

She was a senior defence advisor who believed that she was asked to write briefs on Iraq's supposed WMD's for the government, based on reports from the UN Weapons Inspectors findings.

What she wanted to write, differed in terms of accuracy, to what the government wanted her to write. In other words, she wanted to be accurate, the government wanted her to sex it up.

She refused to do so, and instead was granted a request for unpaid leave. Then she was sacked.

Who believed that she was asked to sex up reports?

Was she or wasn't she? Please provide proof other than her say so.

Grammatical error on my part.

Here's an interview where she explains it in her own words. You can believe what you want.

No. I don't recall mentioning the CDF at all.

From your link:

A former member of the Democrats, Ms Errey was on leave for a year before she was sacked.

The Defence Minister Robert Hill and his Department, say her termination was on performance grounds and had nothing to do with any briefs she may have written or was going to write, nor was it based on her views about Australia's involvement in Iraq.

Should I have read on any further? :roll:

I didn't say you mentioned it. That's why I asked.

Have you read the CDF report?

Well it is the official report regarding the Siev 4 children overboard affair from the chief of the defence forces.
Do you think that children were thrown overboard?

Of course I think they were thrown overboard. They didn't jump in of their own accord.

I'd wonder about the morals of any parent who wouldn't throw their kids off a sinking boat when there is a Navy frigate fifty feet away.

In my opinion, the bone of contention isn't whether they were thrown off the boat or not, but whether they scuttled the boat so that the Navy couldn't send them back to where they came from.

Actually, what the 'left' have been trying to debate is when the PM knew that his claims were wrong. The right keep trying to shift the debate elsewhere.

The bone of contention is whether Howard lied about the children being thrown overboard.

The Navy report alreadys mentions no scuttling of the boat or throing children overboard. That is already dealt with, quite well, by Willow.

The left are trying to dig up dirt prior to an election. It's as plain as the nose on your face.

Did the boat sink right in front of a Navy frigate? Must have been just dumb luck that the Navy was there....

You have been asked for proof for your assertion Miller.

You have failed to do so.
