Sir Lawrence David Freedman is Emeritus Professor of War Studies at King's College London.[1] An attendant at the 1991 Bilderberg meeting, he was the one who put the words in Tony Blair's mouth about "legitimate" wars.
Activities
Freedman authored a paper on The Middle East: Political Fallout And Future Prospects which he presented to the 1991 Bilderberg.
In April 1999, Prime Minster Tony Blair gave a speech in Chicago called The Doctrine of the International Community, in which he set out five conditions he claimed would make starting a war "legitimate". Earlier the same month, Freedman had sent a fax to Number 10 with some ideas for the Chicago speech – and it was he who suggested the five conditions.[2][3]
He created an Official History of the Falklands War with a whitewash report.[4]
