Row over Williams’ critical views about Iraq invasion
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has found himself at the centre of an unexpected row, following cautious remarks to a Muslim magazine, after a Sunday newspaper construed it as an all-out attack on the US and the BBC gave neocon hard-liner John Bolton free rein to attack him this morning. Dr Williams declared that the US had lost the moral high ground since the 9/11 attacks, and that Washington’s attempts to accumulate influence and control in the region were not working.
