Ex Brit Prime Minister Tony Blair Could Be Tried For Iraq War Crimes

Saw this on TV last night..wonder if he will get tried for Iraq war crimes

Tony Blair could still face prosecution for war crimes, leading lawyers warned.

The claim came after two senior Foreign Office lawyers, Sir Michael Wood and Elizabeth Wilmshurst, told the Iraq inquiry the invasion was against international law and amounted to a ?crime of aggression?.

Human rights lawyer Sir Geoffrey Bindman yesterday said there was a case for taking action against Mr Blair for waging an unlawful war.

He said: ?I would not be surprised if a prosecution were attempted in the UK. The difficulty would be to establish his personal responsibility for specific crimes against UK law.?

Sir Geoffrey said there would be serious difficulties in making the case but these were not ?insurmountable?.
