UK Judge: Attack on Iraq Violated International Law
---------------------------------------------------



One of Britain’s most prominent judges, Lord Bingham, has accused
Britain and the United States of acting like a “world vigilante.” He
said the attack on Iraq was a serious violation of international law.
Lord Bingham also said the legal advice given to Tony Blair by the
attorney general prior to the Iraq war was fundamentally "flawed.”
Bingham’s comments came in his first speech since retiring.
