Former prime minister John Howard says he was "embarrassed" intelligence he used to take Australia to war in Iraq was inaccurate and denies it was a "deliberate deception".
In an interview broadcast on the Seven Network, Mr Howard said he and the then National Security Committee of Cabinet in 2003 sent Australian troops into Iraq because they believed American intelligence that Saddam Hussein posed a threat to the West.
However, he said as evidence emerged that there were no weapons of mass destruction "I felt embarrassed. I couldn't believe it, because I had genuinely believed it".
