Reply #3: Families prepare Iraq war indictment

[cal04]

Rose Gentle, whose son, Gordon, was killed in Basra last year, said she and other families were preparing an indictment against Tony Blair.

The case will be supported by the Stop The War Coalition and Military Families Against The War. The two anti-war groups said the plan was to present a legal case to the high court in London tomorrow.

Mrs Gentle, who is standing against the defence minister, Adam Ingram, in the East Kilbride constituency, said: "We now know that the war was based on a lie. There was no legal advice in favour of the war. My son died for that lie and I am determined to see justice done." A spokesman for the Stop The War Coalition said: "There were no weapons of mass destruction, no 45-minute warning, and now we know, there was no proper legal advice for war.

"Tony Blair has to take responsibility for what happened in Iraq and for the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqis and 88 British servicemen."
