Pro-war MPs attack Blair war case
Two senior Labour MPs who backed the war with Iraq have criticised Tony Blair for basing so much of his case on weapons of mass destruction.
Ann Clwyd and Clive Soley say the prime minister should have made more of what they see as the case for regime change.
Mr Soley thinks the case for regime change should have been made more strongly
Two senior Labour MPs who backed the war with Iraq have criticised Tony Blair for basing so much of his case on weapons of mass destruction.
Ann Clwyd and Clive Soley say the prime minister should have made more of what they see as the case for regime change.
Mr Soley called for a change in international law to permit ousting "psychopathic killers" who rule failed states.
The world was not a safe place if "people like that" were left in power.
Mr Soley told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that Mr Blair's case for war early on was wider than WMD - an issue that became increasingly central to his argument as time went on.
