Is justice inching closer for Tony Blair?
Article by John Pilger suggests that when Tony Blair travels abroad he may have to start looking over his shoulder a little more.
Already, no less a figure than Donald Rumsfeld has had to abandon international travel. Could the same be about to happen to Mr Blair?
If the former PM did face a war crimes trial, might it make future UK politicians think twice before sending other people's kids out to die in unnecessary wars?

What a fabulous quote:
In his masterly Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde R.L. Stevenson writes in the character of Jekyll: “Men have before hired bravos to transact their crimes, while their own person and reputation sat under shelter ... I could thus plod in the public eye with a load of genial respectability, and, in a moment, like a schoolboy, strip off these lendings and spring headlong into the sea of liberty. But for me, in my impenetrable mantle, the safety was complete.”
There are many hypocrites out there that have more in common with Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde than a love of potions and I'd love to believe their end is near.
It strikes me, as I’ve said before, that starting a war under false pretences so as to manage a regime change is bad enough but then upon being discovered in that lie to lie again and force a regime change in the BBC is truly evil. For the Pope to then welcome Blair into the forgiving arms of the Roman Catholic church is beyond belief.
