Dear Mr. Blair, Your Lies Sent My Son To War

Mr. Blair, Thank you.

My Son is being sent to Iraq, thanks in large part to you and your abuse of intelligence through Operation Rockingham.

Operation Rockingham, as you well know, pumped up and promoted 'intelligence' in an effort to prove an active Iraqi WMD program, yet ignored other intelligence which indicated that Iraq's WMD's had been destroyed.

You also know that skewed information and manipulated intelligence from Operation Rockingham was used as you made your alleged 'case' for the imminent threat as a justification for invading Iraq. Was Operation Rockingham the source of the 'British Intelligence' that ended up in what was supposed to be the most vetted speech in history, George W. Bush's 2003 State of the Union Speech?

I just wanted to thank you for your part in how my Son, my only child, is being sent to Iraq as a result of your lies, your abuse of power, and your manipulation of intelligence.

It is evidently not enough that a most respected former U.N. weapons scientist, David Kelly, apparently committed suicide over the inquiry as to why we went to war. We now have to see our families shattered as hundreds of British and U.S. troops are killed and injured over what amounts to nothing more than lies and manipulation to promote an ideological agenda. And you contributed to it.

Perhaps one day a friend of yours, or maybe even someone in your family, will be sent, on false pretenses, to be a target on a battlefield in a foreign land. Perhaps then you will realize what a tragedy it is that you resorted to lies to make a case that, as it is turning out, could not be made on its' merits alone.

I only hope you can sleep as well at night as does your partner in fraud, George W. Bush.

You can rest assured that I will have many sleepless nights in the coming months, thanks to you.
