Why we should be afraid, be very afraid.

It is a known fact that Tony Blair and George Bush entered into a conspiracy to invade Iraq, which was not only in contravention of international law but is also an offence under the criminal law of England. Under The Intelligence Services Act 1994 the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS)(formally MI6), is empowered to obtain and provide information relating to the acts and intentions of persons overseas. It was ultra vires (outside the power of) Tony Blair's public office, to obtain and provide the dodgy dossier which he claimed justified the invasion of Iraq. He can, and should be, subject to a judicial review. At the very least, Tony Blair's conduct constituted a misfeasance in public office.

We know that an attempt was made to drag the SIS into this conspiracy to provide false information, and that the then Head of SIS, Sir Richard Dearlove resigned because he was aware that the intelligence presented by Tony Blair had no foundation in fact. John Scarlett (nick named "The Scarlet Pimpenel" for obvious reasons), who was Dearlove's deputy, and involved in preparing the dodgy dossier, was appointed as the new Head of SIS. It is rumoured that Scarlett ensured Dearlove's resignation with the threat of blackmail.

Whereas traditionally, SIS is responsible to and reports to the Foreign Secretary, next month both MI5 and MI6 will report to and be responsible to the new Security Supremo, the present Home Secretary, John Reid. Not since the Cold War has a communist been able to infiltrate the SIS, as easily as John Reid has sneaked in through the back door. It is frightening that this megalomaniac should have been allowed to amass so much power, and without any real sign of any accountability to the electorate. It maybe that this placing him in this position in preparedness for the Iran war is the secret legacy of Tony Blair.
