Quote:2.25pm: Lady Prashar asks about a revelation in one of the documents declassified this afternoon, a note from Geoff Hoon's office written in May 2002. Hoon said that he had found out that "a UK officer at Tampa" had told the US government that "the UK would provide an armoured division for action against Iraq". Hoon was "surprised" by this because it had not been agreed by minister.
Boyce says he does not know who made this promise to the Americans. No one was in a position to do so at that point.
But the 1st Armoured Division (UK) was deployed to the Gulf.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
