My Comment: The British Labor Party civil wars continues. This commission has nothing to do with Tony Blair's decision on going to war with the US in Iraq, but everything to do with those in the Labor Party who never forgave him for the direction that he took Britain politically, economically, and internationally during his tenure as the head of the Labor party and as Prime Minister.
Expect fireworks and a lot of shouting when he takes the stand this week.
