The Cherie Blair interview in The Guardian is well worth reading and I’m sure it will be all over the news that the Blairs have not been invited to Downing Street by the Browns. But to my mind the most interesting part was when Martin Kettle pressed Cherie on the legality of the Iraq war:
“Of course, as a lawyer, I thought about it … And like everything else, as we know from the attorney general down, there are different views about this matter. The one thing I would say, as a lawyer, is that we all know that if there had been a right answer to it in international law terms, don’t you think that would have been clear? It wasn’t clear. It still isn’t clear.
I was not advising the army and nor was I advising my husband on the law.
