They were proposed by Fraser Nelson in today's News of the World:
- Why were so many troops withdrawn so early after the invasion, and did military commanders protest?
- Whose idea was it to turn a blind eye to the Shi’ite dead squads taking over Basra police?
- Can we list the requests for funding – equipment, men - that were made and then denied?
- If the job is done in Barsa, why have we handed over to Americans?
- How much do we increase the defence budget by, to make sure we’re never as underresourced again?
My guess is that they won't be central to an Inquiry. I'd also like to see a whole series of questions on British attitudes to the surge. Why did the British government (and all of Britain's political parties) prefer the Baker-Hamilton plan and its engagement with Tehran to General Petraeus' surge policy (the policy chosen by Bush)?
