THE LEGALITY OF WAR RE-EXAMINED

From the UK Independent::

"Tony Blair's key political decision to raise the spectre of Iraq's alleged WMD was driven largely by the legal advice he received from the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith QC.
"Lord Goldsmith made clear in his legal opinion on the eve of war that military action against Saddam could only comply with international law if the Iraqis were in breach of its UN resolutions on its banned armaments. If WMD did not exist, the legal basis for war is significantly weakened."

And let's not forget that as well as no WMDs, they also haven't found any nuclear materials or connections with terrorists.
