A British court has blocked an attempt by a former Iraqi general to bring a private prosecution against Tony Blair over the Iraq war.
General Abdul Wahed Shannan al-Rabbat, a former chief of staff of the Iraqi army, accused Blair of committing a “crime of aggression” while he was prime minister, by invading Iraq in 2003 to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

21st Century Wire says…
Of course a ‘technicality’ would be found to give that slippery eel Tony Blair some light relief and to keep coveted information safe under the ‘Official Secrets Act’. We wouldn’t want that two week scouring of the Chilcot Inquiry papers by the British Security Services to indicate that indeed Chilcot himself could have ‘mistakenly’ left out certain information of the report, would we.

I think most people who have dealt with me think I am a pretty straight sort of guy, and I am.
