George Bush, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair are still at large

While we bicker over emails, it is easy to forget that real honest to goodness crimes on a massive scale were perpetrated by George Bush, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair. None of whom have seen the inside of a jail cell, and they never will.

The Chilcot Report on the UK invasion of Iraq has finally been released, seven years after it was announced, and many years after its completion (it was delayed for years over the release of government documents and memos that were contained in its pages)….

One of the most damning soundbites from the report was a memo from Blair to GW Bush reading, “I will be with you whatever,” which is a part of a series of communications between the two leaders in which they start from the conclusion that they want to invade Iraq and topple the Saddam Hussein government, and work backwards to figure out how to present the evidence that will make the case that they have no choice but to do this.
