Al-Jazeera - Inside Story - 15-12-09 Can Blair be tried for war crimes? Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, has admitted that he would have gone to war against Iraq even if he knew there were no weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the country. Yet, at the time it was the supposed WMDs that justified the action. So what does this mean for the public inquiry into the war? And can Blair now be prosecuted for war crimes? Inside Story discusses with guests Clare Short, a member of the British parliament, David Cole, the managing director of the Atlantic Council, a UK-based think tank on international affairs, and Anas al-Tikriti, the spokesman for the British Muslim Initiative.
