Blair on the hot seat again regarding Iraq - just in time for the election

It's nice to see that both Labour Party members as well as the opposition are calling for the full release of the report provided by the UK Attorney General regarding the UK going to war in Iraq and its legality. At least the truth appears to be catching up with Blair and the timing could not be any better.

Robin Cook, the former foreign secretary who resigned in protest as Leader of the Commons over the war in Iraq, said: "Many weeks ago, I urged the Government to publish the advice and said at the time that it was inevitable that it was going to become public. I deeply regret that the Government has left this issue to fester, to the point at which it has become public at the worst possible moment for the Government.

"They should've done it in their own time, and made a clean breast of it."

"I resigned when it became evident that we couldn't get a second UN resolution. If this is indeed what the Attorney General said to the Prime Minister at the time, perhaps he should've resigned too."
