10,000 Sign Petition to Hold Tony Blair Accountable for Iraq War
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, more than 10,000 people have signed a petition demanding the
British Parliament "hold Tony Blair to account" for the country's
participation in the 2003 Iraq War. British law requires the government
issue a formal reply to the request. There have been renewed calls for
Blair to face trial after the release of the Chilcot report earlier this
month, which presented evidence Blair had misled the country in making
the case for war.
