Dominic Grieve,the Tory legal affairs spokesman said: "There hasbeen a gross deception."Families of some of the British soldiers killed in Iraqsaid they were preparing a legal case against thePrime Minister, based on the leaked document.No wonder those two get along so well.</p><p> Add New CommentYou are commenting as a Guest.</p><p> You may select one to log into: Logged in as Logout from DISQUSLogged in asusing Facebook Connect (Logout)Type your comment here.</p><p> Daily KosPolling and Political Wrap-Up, 7/22/09 - After acouple of days filled with news, Wednesday gotkinda quiet.</p><p> Follow me for the days news...*IA-Gov: GOP-Sponsored Poll Shows CulverLeading GOP C...2 minutes ago Crooks and LiarsC&L's Late Night Music Club With The Tubes - Title:White Punks On Dope Artist: The Tubes I havealways thought that The Tubes were underrated.They may be best known for songs like She's aBeauty and...38 minutes ago EschatonOn Financial innovation - Financial innovation hasgotten a somewhat deserved bad rap, because asMatt smartly pointed out earlier, so muchinnovation is really just regulatory arbi...40 minutes ago HuffPost PoliticsJames Crowley, Policeman Who Arrested Gates,Won't Apologize - NATICK, Mass. — A white policesergeant accused of racism after he arrestedrenowned black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at hishome insisted Wednesday...42 minutes ago FiredoglakePecora in Perspective: Investment Banking,J O H N ' S P H OT O S AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: Blair L...http://www.americablog.com/2005/04/blair-lied-to-uk-during-l... 1 of 57/22/09 11:47 PMCommercial Banking, and Glass-Steagall - ThePecora Commission report devotes a substantialamount of pages to discussion of the evils ofallowing the commingling of commercial bankingservices, i...1 hour agoShow AllA M E R I C A B L O G T V Visit our AMERICAblog TV site.see all 322 videos >I collect with vodpod In honor of SenatorDeMint For the GOPers, healthcare is politics.</p><p> They just Traditional media has todebunk the birthers One small step...</p><p> The right-wing media, thevoices of the GOP, in REM - Orange CrushNext 6AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth: Blair L...http://www.americablog.com/2005/04/blair-lied-to-uk-during-l... 2 of 57/22/09 11:47 PMEzra KleinTab Dump4 hours agoWonk RoomSen.</p><p> Byron Dorgan:The ‘Trade’ InCap-And-Trade ‘MakesNo Sense To Me’5 hours agoHealth BeatTruth Squad: WallStreet Journal HealthCare Editorial Wrong onthe Facts . . .6 hours agoThe TreatmentHatch Is Out8 hours agoDaily DoseProviders Endorse 'Payfor Value' Proposals13 hours agoG AY P O L I T I C S Visit our new gay politicssection, AMERICAblog Gay.F E E D S Blog RSS AMERICAblog TV RSS Twitter RSSTwitter Feed Get the blog by email: Subscribe me!
