LONDON (Reuters) - Relatives of British soldiers killed in Iraq attacked former Prime Minister Tony Blair on Tuesday, accusing him of taking Britain into an illegal war with inadequate equipment.

About 20 relatives of British soldiers killed in Iraq met members of a committee of inquiry into Britain's involvement in the war to tell them what they wanted the panel to focus on.

The five-member committee, headed by former civil servant John Chilcot, will hold meetings around the country with relatives of some of the 179 British soldiers killed in Iraq before opening formal hearings in November or December.

The relatives, some of them angry and emotional, told the committee they wanted it to investigate the legality of the war, equipment failings and whether Blair's government distorted intelligence to justify British involvement in the war.

2. What the world needs now is for someone to become the new Simon Wiesenthal.

Somebody needs to hunt down all of the criminals in the UK and the US who were/are responsible for the war crimes committed the last 9 years. We have to make sure that they get the prison sentences (or worse) that they deserve.

There were other world leaders responsible besides the US & UK thugs, but we can go after them after Bush, Cheney, Rumsfailed, Blair....etc. are brought to justice.

And Dummya was very loyal, too. To all his friends. And made them all richer, at taxpayer expense.
