ストーリー
In 2003, prior to the Iraq invasion, British intelligence whistleblower Katharine Gun leaks a top-secret National Security Agency memo exposing a joint US-UK illegal spying operation against UN Security Council members. The memo suggests blackmailing these states into voting for war. Katharine's leak is published by journalist Martin Bright in The Observer newspaper, causing international outrage and collapsing any chance of a UN resolution backing the invasion. However, President Bush proceeds with the invasion regardless. As Iraq descends into chaos, Katharine is arrested and charged under the Official Secrets Act, while Martin faces potential charges as well.
