[A-List] Blair and WMDs

["James Daly" <james.irldaly@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Independent’s editors wrote:

“Tony Blair's capacities as a performer and an advocate have never
been in doubt. But this was something much more... this was the most
persuasive case yet made by the man who has emerged as the most
formidable persuader for war on either side of the Atlantic. The case
against President Saddam's 12-year history of obstructing the United
Nation's attempts at disarmament has never been better made."

Remarkably, this praise across the media spectrum was heaped on a
speech packed full of lies and deceptions that could easily have been
exposed by journalists.
