BBC: US panel to study policy in Iraq (bipartisan, chaired by James Baker)

By Jonathan Beale
BBC State Department correspondent

Former US Secretary of State James Baker is to lead a bipartisan task force to examine the effectiveness of American policies in Iraq.

Mr Baker, a Republican who served under President George W Bush's father, has promised an honest assessment of the situation facing US forces.

The task force was set up at the request of the US Congress.

It comes as the latest opinion polls show falling public support for both the war and the president.
