The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan says the
Chilcot report, which was published today, justifies putting Tony Blair on
trial for alleged war crimes. The Chilcot report found that the invasion of
Iraq in 2003 was based on “flawed intelligence and assessments” that went
unchallenged. The report concluded that the UK chose to join the invasion of Iraq before peaceful
options for disarmament had been exhausted. And it said that military action at
that time was not a last resort. Lynn Boylan says leaders like Tony Blair need to account for their actions.
