EmailTony Blair, accused by Archbishop Tutu (and many others) of lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction says every single independent analysis of the evidence has shown that he did not lie about the intelligence.
That is not true. Nicholas Wood, in collaboration with human rights lecturer Rob Murthwaite, in detailed, forensic analysis The Case Against Blair concludes that Blair lied.
Former US federal prosecutor Elizabeth de la Vega has done the same in the case of George Bush.
In Britain, the Butler report said that "more weight was placed on the intelligence than it could bear" and the infamous 45 minute claim was unsubstantiated.
