FILE - In this file photo dated Thursday, July 30, 2009, John Chilcot, the chairman of the Iraq Inquiry as the inquiry gets underway in London, looking at background details and the decision making process during the run-up to the Iraq War. The Iraq Inquiry announced Thursday May 29, 2014, that its report has been delayed for several years by negotiations over the inclusion of classified material including details of exchanges between Britain's then-Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President George W. Bush, before the invasion of Iraq, but the full versions of the conversations will remain secret. Although today's announcement made clear that the British inquiry into decisions and mistakes in the planning and execution of the war will be made public, it is still unclear when Chilcot's report will be released.
