		The legal advice to the government by Attorney General Lord Goldsmith was based upon Saddam Hussein flouting a string of UN resolutions and followed the failure to win a clear mandate from the Security Council before the launch of military action in March.

		Moreover, here was a leader of the opposition who continued to support the government even as more than a million people marched through the streets of London in the biggest demonstration of popular opposition to any government in British history.
		True, not all Tories who voted for war believed Blair: Peter Lilley, the former deputy leader, studied the documents and concluded that Blair was ‘probably telling fibs on this one’, but satisfied himself that a case could be made to remove Saddam on humanitarian grounds.
