A public inquiry into the UK's involvement in the run-up to the Iraq invasion, the war itself and the aftermath, is underway in London with top officials taking the stand.

Can the truth be known and lessons learnt without hurting British interests, boosting war opposition, and damaging transatlantic relations?

We will be asking: What are the inquiry's underlying objectives and is it likely to cause more harm than good?

Inside Story discusses with guests Jeremy Corbyn, a labour MP, David Cole, the managing director of the Atlantic Council - a UK based think tank on international affairs, and Sabah al-Mukhtar, an Iraqi lawyer and head of the Arab lawyers forum in the UK.

This episode of Inside Story aired on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.
