Carne Ross, the first secretary to the British mission at the U.N. responsible for Iraq policy from 1997 to 2002, told the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war that the British government intentionally exaggerated the threat of Iraq's WMD after the 9/11 attacks.
Ross said that documents issued by the British government "intentionally and substantially" exaggerated the intelligence after 9/11.
Ross stated that the documents were so exaggerated that they were "in their totality, lies."
