BEGIN DESCRIPTION:
"Former Prime Minister Tony Blair is to donate the £4.6m advance and all royalties from his memoirs to a sports centre for badly injured soldiers."
END DESCRIPTION
Actually, it is untruthful to say Blair lied. US, UK, French, German, and Israeli intelligence (and others, to be sure) all were in agreement that Saddam STILL had WMD at the time of the invasion.
Hey Great Britain, you don't have to suck Tony Blair's dick because he's donated the money, you don't have to do s**t to him, but at least acknowledge that it will go toward helping people who really could use the funding – regardless of how you feel about the man. Sure it doesn't change what he, or Bush did, but it's a good thing for the troops.
Please explain to us how since it is common knowledge now that Sadam actually wanted the world to think he had WMD's as a way of keeping Iran at bay. It worked a little too well as it turned out. Given how much of a monster he and his sons were and how they terrorized the Iraqi people I'm not sure how anyone could say taking him out was a bad thing.
To correct the title, it is for injured /soldiers/, not just one. Also, how is it on the frontpage with only 18 diggs? Not that I am complaining, this is a very good hearted deed. Of course it is most likely a PR stunt, but it's good to see that he at least acknowledges that he owes something.
f**k you enterence. If you are going to go on a soap box on a summary at least have the decency to use proper grammar (PROTIP: you can't string together convoluted thoughts just by placing ellipses between them)

Way to keep the summary unbiased.

I wish there was a way to bury the submitter and not the article.

As much as I agree that the Iraq war was a bad mistake... buried for the description.

People who use the description box to editorialize should be Kelly'd -- which is open to interpretation.

I want to bury this for a biased summary but at the same time I feel compelled to digg it for the touching story.

Tony Blair should be locked up with the rest of the war criminals of the world.
