In January and February 2007 two leading barristers and their juniors (from Matrix Chambers): Philippe Sands QC (for the prosecution) assisted by Alison Macdonald and Julian Knowles (for the defence) assisted by Blinne Ni Gralaigh tested the evidence as to whether there would be sufficient grounds to indict the British Prime Minister for the crime of aggression against Iraq. They examined a number of distinguished witnesses, including Members of Parliament, diplomats, international lawyers, civil servants, United Nations officials, policy advisors, Intelligence experts and journalists.
The cast is: David Beames (Scott Ritter), Jeremy Clyde (Ed Mortimer), Ken Drury (Michael Smith), Diane Fletcher (Clare Short), Terrance Hardiman (Bob Marshall Andrews), William Hoyland (Sir Stuart Murray-Smith and Sir Michael Quinlan), Charlotte Lucas (Blinne Ghralaigh), Morven Macbeth (Alison McDonald), David Michaels (Julian Knowles), Roland Oliver (Michael Mates), Raad Rawi (Dr Al-Mufti), Shane Rimmer (Richard Perle), Thomas Wheatley (Phillipe Sands) and James Woolley (Juan Gabriel Valdes).
