Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, appearing for the second time before an inquiry into the 2003 invasion of Iraq, said he did not offer President George W. Bush a “blank check” of support in the run-up to the conflict.
Blair was questioned for four hours in London today about gaps in the evidence he gave the panel a year ago. Anti-war protesters gathered outside the hearing. Inside, Blair was heckled as he expressed his regret for those who died.
