New inquiry re-opens British weapons claim controversy

LONDON - Lord Butler has dropped a bombshell on Downing Street by reopening the investigation into whether Prime Minister Tony Blair deliberately misled Britain over the claim that Saddam Hussein could use weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes.

The Prime Minister's key advisers are horrified that Lord Butler has reopened damaging charges against Mr Blair and Alastair Campbell, his former Director of Communications, on which they were exonerated by the Hutton Inquiry.

Hmmmmmmmm - I am so wary of anything that the Bush administration does - can't help but wonder if this bombshell is meant to be deflected by the surprize handover today instead of Wednesday......
