Tony Blair faced renewed pressure last night over the legality of the
war in Iraq as Charles Kennedy demanded to know how he had decided
there were "strong factual grounds" that Saddam Hussein had failed to
dismantle his programme of WMDs.
The Liberal Democrat leader wrote to the Prime Minister calling on him
to "set the record straight" as it emerged that, a year before the
invasion of Iraq, senior officials had warned the Government there was
no escalating threat from Saddam's WMD nor legal justification for
toppling him.

Blair is a war criminal. The least we could do is impeach him......

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
