Reuters: Two former senior British ministers accused Tony 'Piddles' Blair of deceiving the public at the start of a parliamentary inquiry on Tuesday into the government's justification for launching a war with Iraq.

Robin Cook, who resigned from the cabinet on the eve of the war, said there was no sign of the equipment or a workforce for Iraq to produce weapons of mass destruction.

"It is inconceivable that both could have been kept concealed for the two months we have been in occupation of Iraq," he told the official inquiry.

Another former British minister, Clare Short, who resigned last month as international development secretary, accused Blair of exaggerating the threat posed by Saddam Hussein. The deception, she said, had included publishing a February dossier making the case for war - plagiarized from a student's PhD thesis.

"To think that in the run-up to a declaration of war, where people's lives are at stake, to lift a PhD thesis and distort it...I think it is shocking," she said.


"They're just rewriting history!
Anyway, SADDAM was the wmd!"
