Text 2 At the start of the year, The Independent on Sunday argued that there were three over-whelming reasons why Iraq should not be invaded: there was no proof that Saddam posed an imminent threat; Iraq would be even more unstable as a result of its liberation; and a conflict would increase the threat posed by terrorists. What we did not know was that Tony Blair had received intelligence and advice that raised the very same points.
Last week’s report from the Intelligence and Security Committee included the revelation that some of the intelligence had warned that a war against Iraq risked an increased threat of terrorism. Why did Mr. Blair not make this evidence available to the public in the way that so much of the alarmist intelligence on Saddam’s weapons was published? Why did he choose to ignore the intelligence and argue instead that the war was necessary, precisely because of the threat posed by international terrorism?
There have been two parliamentary investigations into this war and the Hutton inquiry reopens tomorrow. In their different ways they have been illuminating, but none of them has addressed the main issues relating to the war. The Foreign Affairs Committee had the scope to range widely, but chose to become entangled in the dispute between the Government and the BBC. The Intelligence Committee reached the conclusion that the Government’s file on Saddam’s weapons was not mixed up, but failed to explain why the intelligence was so hopelessly wrong. The Hutton inquiry is investigating the death of Dr. David Kelly, a personal tragedy of marginal relevance to the war against Iraq.
Tony Blair has still to come under close examination about his conduct in the building-up to war. Instead, the Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon, is being fingered as if he were master-minding the war behind everyone’s backs from the Ministry of Defence. Mr. Hoon is not a minister who dares to think without consulting Downing Street first. At all times he would have been dancing to Downing Street’s tunes. Mr. Blair would be wrong to assume that he can draw a line under all of this by making Mr. Hoon the fall-guy. It was Mr. Blair who decided to take Britain to war, and a Cabinet of largely skeptical ministers that backed him. It was Mr. Blair who told MPs that unless Saddam was removed, terrorists would pose a greater global threat—even though he had received intelligence that suggested a war would lead to an increase in terrorism.
Parliament should be the forum in which the Prime Minister is called more fully to account, but Iain Duncan Smith’s support for the war has neutered an already inept opposition. In the absence of proper parliamentary scrutiny, it is left to newspapers like this one to keep asking the most important questions until the Prime Minister answers them.

本题考查事实细节。第二段末句以问句的形式指出,布莱尔选择了无视情报而只强调战争的必要性。因此[C]正确。[B]将“布莱尔”换成了“委员会”,是错误的。第一段开始指出,《独立报》提出了伊拉克不应该受到侵略的几点重要原因;该段末句则指出,我们不知道的是布莱尔已经收到了提出以上几点的情报或建议。由此可见,早在《独立报》公布这个情报之前已有其它部门对此作了报道。所以,《独立报》不是第一个公布情报的。[D]错误。文章前两段没有涉及“议会”,排除[A]。

本题考查推理引申。题干这句话出现在第三段第三句。整个第三段主要围绕“对伊战争的调查”展开论述。该段第二句对两项调查作出评价,指出它们都没有涉及到关系这场战争的症结所在。第三句指出,外事委员会要调查的范围很广,却让自己纠缠于政府和英国广播公司的纠纷之中。由此可见,作者认为“政府与英国广播公司的纠纷”不是关系这场战争的关键性问题,[A]正确。该段中作者没有完全否认“调查”的必要性,排除[C];也没有对调查方(外事委员会或情报委员会)进行批评,排除[B]和[D]。
