LONDON (AFP) - Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) came under fresh pressure over the way he took Britain to war on Iraq (news - web sites), after US Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) acknowledged key intelligence no longer appeared "solid". snip


Doug Henderson, a deputy with Blair's ruling Labour party and a former junior defence and Foreign Office minister, called for the government to make a statement to parliament.


"If the American secretary of state has misled the people of the United States, it also appears that we have been misled in this country by the same faulty intelligence," Henderson said.


"The record should be put straight. Those who are responsible should apologize to those who have lost loved ones because of this dreadful error of judgment and a statement should be made to parliament."

2. Hint to Blair: blame the CIA, and MI6
Do what your weasel pals, Powell and the rest did on this side of the ocean. You may want to hunt down the grad student who unwittingly provided most of your "dossier" and have him explain a thing or two, as well.
