Blair goes up in smoke

The Telegraph's Andrew Pierce, clearly feeling some vindication, uses the revelation that Tony Blair lied about the Ecclestone affair to launch an attack on Blair. But, probably advised by lawyers, he is reluctant to say outright that Blair lied on this one, although he does say:

In a funny way, the apparent lie is even more shocking than the one he told in the House of Commons about Saddam Hussein's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.

Blair did indeed lie about Iraq's alleged wmd.
