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.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
