Blair Opponents Not Satisfied by Report
By ED JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer

LONDON - Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) says the case is settled: a new intelligence review that clears his government of intentionally exaggerating the threat posed by Iraq (news - web sites) shows his government joined the war against Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) in good faith.

His opponents are not convinced. They hope to capitalize on widespread public opposition to the war — not to mention the review's finding that British intelligence about the Iraqi threat was flawed — during elections Thursday to fill two vacant parliamentary seats.

"I hope we will not face in this country another war in the foreseeable future, but if we did and you identified the threat, would the country believe you?" Conservative Party leader Michael Howard asked in the House of Commons.
