John Pilger - New Statesman - Blair must be arrested.

well, that’s rather blunt, and refeshing.

BLAIR MUST BE ARRESTED.
the headline of John Pilger’s latest article for the News Statesman. Here are the few opening salvos:

Having helped destroy other nations far away, our former prime minister — “peace envoy” to the Middle East — is now free to profit from the useful contacts he made while working as a “servant of the people”.

Tony Blair must be prosecuted, not indulged like Peter Mandelson. Both have produced self-serving memoirs for which they have been paid fortunes; Blair’s, which has earned him a £4.6m advance, will appear next month.

Now consider the Proceeds of Crime Act. Blair conspired in and executed an unprovoked war of aggression against a defenceless country, of a kind the Nuremberg judges in 1946 described as the “paramount war crime”. This has caused, according to scholarly studies, the deaths of more than a million people, a figure that exceeds the Fordham University estimate of deaths in the Rwandan genocide.

I quite like the (blatant) W on Blair’s forehead in the recent shot used in that article. What, you didn’t see it?
