<snip>10. Mass graves


Lie:


We've already discovered just so far the remains of 400,000 people in mass graves.

– Tony Blair, 20 November 2003


Truth:


Downing Street has admitted to the Observer that repeated claims by Tony Blair that '400,000 bodies had been found in Iraqi mass graves' is untrue, and only about 5,000 corpses have so far been uncovered.
