Yep. I noted that the minority on the committee--presumably not of Blair's party--objected vehemently. The same thing will happen when a Republican committee in Congress "exonerates" Bush. In both cases it's too easy--and let's face it, too reasonable if you're skeptical of political partisanship--to see it as a whitewash to protect one of their own.

Don may annoy the snot out of the Bush supporters here by beating the missing-WMD drum, but given the slim odds of an objective investigation by a Republican Congress and Executive branch, the system needs the balance of the media and private individuals pushing the other way. Maybe out of those two extremes some truth will emerge.
