Tony Blair on the spot on British Iraq inquiry

Unlike in the U.S., with President Kumbaya content to follow in the tracks of George Pre-emptive Strike Bush, Great Britain actually exercises its democracy.

That includes a full-blown Iraq War run-up investigation that will have former Prime Minister Tony Blair on the witness stand. Unfortunately, the commission will have no sanctions power.

And, we do not know how much, if any, of the Blair testimony will be done in public. After all, Britain has official state secrets laws more draconian than here in the U.S.
