Tony Blair to give public evidence on Iraq war
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair will be publicly questioned about the Iraq war during Britain’s long-awaited inquiry into mistakes made before and during the conflict, the inquiry chairman said Friday.
Chairman John Chilcott said Blair and other senior politicians will be questioned early next year on their role and decisions over the war.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced in June that he would hold an inquiry into the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. He initially had said the hearings would be private, but changed his stance after bereaved families and anti-war campaigners said a private inquiry would command little confidence.

Well, he was elected by the voters of Kircaldy and Cowdenbeath. In a parliamentary system, I suppose it’s always wrong to say that the prime minister was elected by anyone other than his own constituency, but the personalities of the parties’ leaders do seem to play more of a role than they did even 15 or 20 years ago.
