Britain: Is Iraq War Illegal, Wheeling and Dealing in 02 & the Garbage Man Cometh

As our nation ignores the reprecussions of our repugnant use of torture, the UK reveals that as any as 50 UK soldiers will be charged for crimes in Iraq, ranging from murder, manslaughter, assault and sexual offenses. This story exposes more abuse claims at the hands of UK soldiers from detainees in Iraq. I had previously posted that the UK is questioning whether or not the war in Iraq is illegal, well, this picks up on that and also examines if the deal to go to war in Iraq was struck between Blair and Bush at Bush's Crawford Ranch in April of 2002 --- well before we launched the war in March of 2003. This is a cue that the US should adopt for our country, given our Patriot Act's vague and sweeping powers: The House of Lords will not pass the "Terror Bill" that would allow the Home Secretary to put any British citizen under house arrest. And talk about irony, the Labour Party has hired an American spin wizard who doctored photos of GW Bush snorting coke (Bush called him "the garbage man" for this and he later went on to become the moving force of MoveOn.Org) to help Blair and his Labour Party keep ahead in the polls...funny that Bush's good buddy Blair would seek the help of a guy who made Bush's former nose candy habit front and center. But Blair has his own serious issues, as he is looked upon as a liability to his party b/c he is though of as Bush's bitch.
