Suppressed document shows "Tony Blair lied".

The Government's case for going to war in Iraq has been torn apart by the
publication of previously suppressed evidence that Tony Blair lied over
Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

A devastating attack on Mr Blair's justification for military action by
Carne Ross,
Britain's key negotiator at the UN, has been kept under wraps until now
because
he was threatened with being charged with breaching the Official Secrets
Act.

In the testimony revealed today Mr Ross, 40, who helped negotiate several
UN security resolutions on Iraq, makes it clear that Mr Blair must have
known
Saddam Hussein possessed no weapons of mass destruction.

Mr Ross revealed it was a commonly held view among British officials
dealing
with Iraq that any threat by Saddam Hussein had been "effectively
contained".

He also reveals that British officials warned US diplomats that bringing
down
the Iraqi dictator would lead to the chaos the world has since witnessed.

"I remember on several occasions the UK team stating this view in terms
during our discussions with the US (who agreed)," he said.

As the Snowman might say, that's old news.

We all knew it, except the mass media and the people. It started with
the Downing street memo.. and it keeps going on and on.

Are there any British laws against that kind of behavior?

If not, then the people/public are as guilty as the liars...
