UK's Blair to face grilling over Iraq row


British Prime Minister Tony Blair will face a grilling in parliament on Tuesday over Iraq, after a committee exonerated him of deliberately hyping intelligence but failed to silence doubts about how he made the case for war.

Blair can expect the third degree over anything from train delays to the euro when he makes a rare appearance before parliament's Liaison Committee, which groups more than 30 heads of select committees.
But a dispute with the country's much-respected public broadcaster, the BBC, will take centre stage -- as it has for weeks since the broadcaster quoted an unnamed intelligence source as saying officials exaggerated data to justify war. ---

1. Ooo, is it Q&A time already?
Can't wait! It's the best half hour of television out there.

2. I enjoy Prime Minister's questions time.
At least the British people get a chance to see their leader have to answer questions about any and all subjects. I love the way they all yell at the same time, and then they all sit and stand for a few seconds before another question is asked. Not sure why they do it, but it's cool.

Now if only AWOL would get asked some real questions once in a while.
