Now we know for certain; Bush and Blair did lie to the world
The warmakers have always said their claims, about WMD for example, were honest, if mistaken; the Downing Street memos show this to be a downright lie
By Jonathan Freedland


Now try work this one out. Before the war on Iraq, Britain witnessed a ferocious debate over whether the case for conflict was legal and honest. It culminated in the largest demonstration in the country's history, as a million or more took to the streets to stop the war. At the same time, the US sleepwalked into battle. Its press subjected US President George W. Bush to a fraction of the scrutiny endured by British Prime Minister Tony Blair: the president's claims about former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction and links to al-Qaeda were barely challenged. While Blair had to cajole and persuade his lawmakers to back him, Bush counted on the easy loyalty of his fellow Republicans -- and of most leading Democrats.

A trial and conviction of the Bush Admistration is the only way forward. The only way for America to live with its conscience. Charges: 1. Murder 2. Genocide 3. Crimes Against Humanity.

2. A well-done article.
It puts all the pieces together very well. How anyone can deny or condone at this point is beyond understanding.
