 Top UK Diplomat's Iraq Book Blocked
Publication of The Costs of War by Sir Jeremy Greenstock, UK ambassador to the UN during the build-up to the 2003 war and the Prime Minister's special envoy to Iraq in its aftermath, has been halted.
The decision to block the book until Greenstock removes substantial passages will be interpreted as an attempt by ministers to avoid further embarrassing disclosures over the conduct of the war and its aftermath from a highly credible source.
Greenstock's British publishers, Random House, were remaining tight-lipped but it is thought that the book is almost certain not to be published in the autumn as planned.

 The World Today - Iraq elections in doubt
In fact, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, who was the UK's Ambassador to the UN during the Iraq War and became the UK's first envoy in Baghdad afterwards, says the elections are essential to combating the violence.
JEREMY GREENSTOCK: As soon as there is an elected national assembly and an elected government that they feel represents them far more clearly than this early interim stage, then I believe that they will take a much firmer decision to see this violence eradicated.
MICHAEL VINCENT: And Sir Jeremy is predicting the number of areas affected by violence that won't be able to host ballot boxes will be small — limited to one province in the south as well as some areas of Baghdad and the Sunni triangle.

JOHN HUMPHRYS: Sir Jeremy Greenstock it's unrealistic isn't it to expect a body with one hundred and eighty nine members to act effectively against terrorism, particularly given that some of those countries themselves support terrorism.
GREENSTOCK: John, the UN is not a law enforcement agency.
GREENSTOCK: No, because it would have to be, I mean it's possible if the act of terrorism was about to take place was clearly directed against the United States, that would be understandable.

Now, however, it is at the center of a political storm that threatens to strike at the ties binding the old allies, as its director, former British ambassador to the United Nations and special envoy to Iraq, Jeremy Greenstock, attempts to publish damaging allegations about the Bush administration's rush to war in Iraq.
Greenstock kept a diary as the security situation in Iraq deteriorated, and in his book is said to lay bare the inner workings of the CPA as it attempted to deal with the spiraling violence.
Greenstock has been asked to remove all such sections from the book before its publication, originally due in the fall.

 Downing St blocks envoy’s Iraq book - Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
The Observer reports that publication of “The Costs of War” by Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Britain’s ambassador to the UN during the build-up to the 2003 war and the Tony Blair’s special envoy to Iraq in its aftermath, has been halted.
In one extract Greenstock describes the American decision to go to war as "politically illegitimate" and says that UN negotiations "never rose over the level of awkward diversion for the U.S. administration".
However, the decision to block the book until candid passages are removed is sure to be seen as an attempt by ministers to avoid further embarrassing disclosures over the conduct of the war and its aftermath from a highly credible and reliable source.

 British U.N. Envoy Says U.S. Jeopardizing UNMIBH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
British U.N. Ambassador Jeremy Greenstock said yesterday that the U.N. Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina could end because of efforts by the United States to secure immunity for troops from prosecution in the soon-to-be-inaugurated International Criminal Court (Edith Lederer, Associated Press/Washington Post, June 25).
It now has only a few days to resolve the issue, and Greenstock said a premature end to UNMIBH is "at least a theoretical option" depending on "how hard the parties to this issue want to play it.
Greenstock said one possible compromise is a temporary settlement permitting extension of the UNMIBH mandate for six months or a shorter period and possibly involving limited immunity for peacekeepers from the ICC, which is set to come into existence July 1 (Lederer, AP/Washington Post).

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, Great Britain's U.N. ambassador until 2003 and its Iraq representative, explains in this week's Economist the nature and causes of the violence in Iraq, and why it is important for the world that the Coalition stay and finish the job.
Second, Greenstock believes, the anti-coalitionists - former regime loyalists who joined up with the foreign terrorists who have entered Iraq - feel that "violence and anarchy are to be achieved by indiscriminate killing," so they started to make Iraqis their targets.
Greenstock says the Saddam loyalists and terrorists "have no prospect on their own of defeating the Coalition militarily," and so they must try to capitalize on the unpopularity of the "occupying forces" and hope that it opens up into wider trouble.

One American source said that when Sir Jeremy arrived last year after his stint as Britain's ambassador to the United Nations, British officials in Baghdad hoped that such a high profile and authoritative figure would be able to steer the CPA in a "moderate" direction.
Sir Jeremy was succeeded by David Richmond, a career diplomat.
