Tony Blair Watch
Tony Blair should go to the Hague, not as EU president, but to face trial for monumental war crimes at the International Court of Justice.
Stop the War exclusive: Tony Blair confesses to war crimes
Tony Blair was interviewed on the BBC by Fern Britton, but only extracts from the interview were broadcast, leaving out his frank admission that he knew from the start that the Iraq invasion was a war crime. A transcript of the whole interview has been leaked to Stop the War.
Iraq Inquiry: Normalising an epic crime by John Pilger
The purpose of the Chilcot inquiry is to normalize an epic crime by providing enough of a theater of guilt to satisfy the media so that the only issue that matters, that of prosecution, is never raised.
Poor Tony, looks like he won't get a £1m top up from Tesco's
Blair's corruption really has no frontiers. He was negotiating to be a figurehead for Tesco's -- to help it break into the Middle East market. £1m was the figure discussed -- peanuts next to the £15m Blair is said to have earned in the last two years. So Tesco's slogan "Every little helps" didn't work this time.
The future President of Europe
Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic refused to take his seat in the dock at the International Court in The Hague, where he is facing charges for war crimes. Maybe Tony Blair could take his place.
Tony Blair cashes in on his war crimes contacts
TONY BLAIR has been cashing in on his contacts from the Iraq conflict and his role as Middle East peace envoy for a private business venture expected to earn him more than £5m a year.
Is this the way to bring mass murderer Tony Blair to trial?
He is one of the two greatest living mass murderers on earth. Getting Tony Blair elected European Union President could be the chance that many of us have been waiting for: to get him in front of a judge and held to account for his war crimes, says George Monbiot.
Tony Blair the terrorist not welcome in Palestine. Hounding the war criminals wherever they go.
Tony Blair had to be rescued by bodyguards as he visited a West Bank mosque in Hebron on 20 October 2009, when a Palestinian man, Ali Hassan Hemidan, approached him shouting: "You are a terrorist!"
"My son's blood is on your hands", father tells Tony Blair
Tony Blair offered his hand to Peter Brierley during a reception following a service to commemorate the dead of the Iraq war. "Don't you dare," said Peter. "You have my son's blood on your hands."
Tony Blair's limitless greed feeds off his war crimes
"This beggars belief, says bereaved father Peter Brierley. "It's absolutely scandalous that he's now trying to make money from his contacts in the region. It's money from the blood and lives of the soldiers who died in Iraq."
Oceans of water couldn't wash the blood from Blair's hands
In a week when bereaved relatives confronted Tony Blair -- "You created an unjust conflict and killed my son", said one mother -- over twenty families who lost loved ones in Iraq came together to give evidence to the Iraq Inquiry and were virtually unanimous: Blair should be indicted as a war criminal in the international courts.
Where are the arch war criminals now? No.1: Tony Blair
Will the Iraq inquiry help bring Blair to his just desserts, or will he carry on taking "blood money", as Reg Keys -- whose soldier son Tom was killed in Iraq in 2003 -- described Blair's JP Morgan job. It's a description which could be applied to all Blair's earnings since he stepped down (or in truth was pushed) from office.
Defeat looming for Tony Blair's Afghanistan jihad
Tony Blair's vainglorious jihad against the Pashtun insurgency is not succeeding, and British commanders, diplomats and politicians know it. After three years of "inkspots", hearts-and-minds and take-hold-and-build, that battle-weary siren of defeat, talking to the enemy, is back onstage.
Will Jack Straw prosecute himself and Tony Blair under the new war criminals law?
UK justice secretary Jack Straw proposes prosecutions against British nationals and residents accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Will he begin by prosecuting himself and Tony Blair?
Why did Britain go to war? Questions the Iraq Inquiry must answer
This video shows what the Iraq war inquiry must do if is to dispel the view that it is little more than a panel of establishment stooges, hand-picked by Gordon Brown to ensure that the truth of why Britain went into an illegal war remains as hidden from view as ever.
Iraq war inquiry: still on course for a bucket of whitewash
Speeches made in the parliamentary debate on the Iraq Inquiry, by MPs George Galloway, Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell, show why holding some of the inquiry in public is not enough to prevent its report being little more than a bucket of whitewash, just as Gordon Brown always intended.
Secrets, lies and Tony Blair's rush to war: what a real public Iraq inquiry would reveal
When Tony Blair told the Commons that he hoped conflict with Iraq could be averted, he already knew the White House had picked 1,500 targets for its bombers. A real public inquiry would expose the gaps between what the public were told and what politicians were discussing in private.
The real expenses scandal of Tony Blair
Tony Blair claimed £7000 of taxpayers' money to repair the roof on his second home just two days before he left office. Scandalous. But how much more scandalous that a man who lied to take Britain into an illegal war, which slaughtered over one million Iraqis, has been saved from public exposure for his war crimes by Gordon Brown's farcical secret inquiry.
Surprise, surprise: Tony Blair is behind secret Iraq inquiry
Tony Blair urged Gordon Brown to hold the independent inquiry into the Iraq war in secret because he feared that he would be subjected to a "show trial" if it were opened to the public.
Leaked memo proves Bush and Blair planned illegal Iraq invasion
A confidential record of a meeting between President Bush and Tony Blair before the invasion of Iraq, outlining their intention to go to war without a second United Nations resolution, will be an explosive issue for the official inquiry into the UK's role in toppling Saddam Hussein.
