> "Facts Were Fixed." Here it is. The smoking gun. The memo that has, "IMPEACH HIM" written all over

It is a sad fact that barely a week after the publication of the leaked memo, it is all but impossible to find in the media. Giving Blair all the benefit of the doubt, the unavoidable conclusion is that he made a massive error of judgement in his stated reasons for supporting the American invasion, an error of judgement that should cause him to offer his resignation. Yet reading the report makes one think that there was a conspiracy to pervert the true purpose of the United Nations of avoiding international conflict into using it to provoke Iraq into a position that would justify war.
Furthermore, not only did he choose to conceal the truth from parliament but he likewise failed to present the whole truth to his own cabinet.
The action, which at best was based on a flimsy premise, has led to the death of 150,000 Iraqis, upwards of 1,500 allied personnel and left the region in a state of chaos, yet there is no clamour to investigate, let alone prosecute. How are we mere citizens going to repect the law, when our elected law-makers pick and choose what laws they themselves consider worth obeying?
