...Blair and Iraq It is understandable that Lance Price should use advocacy to defend Tony Blair, given that Price was a special adviser [Feb. 1]. However, it should not be forgotten that Blair told the House of Commons prior to the invasion of Iraq that Saddam Hussein could remain in power if he destroyed or relinquished his WMD. There were no WMD, as Hans Blix would have confirmed had he been given time. Why then does Blair now claim that regime change was a legitimate justification? Neil Stuart, KESWICK, ENGLAND...
...overly excited about his medal count. Blair won five golds and a bronze. By any kind of accounting, her haul is more valuable than Ohno's two golds, two silvers, and three bronzes. You can't take away anything from career of Ohno, whose hip looks, fast feet, and dashing name (if he was Frank Smith, would have snared that spot on Dancing With the Stars?) have allowed him to become a rare Winter Olympian who enjoys mainstream fame. He has won medals in three consecutive Olympics, trains ten hours a day to keep his frame chiseled...
Ohno passed Bonnie Blair, the long-track speedskater who won six medals between 1988 and 1994, as the U.S. Winter Olympian with the most hardware.

(Watch a video of Ohno training...
Harris, who worked for the Sunday Times and the BBC when Blair came to power, was once friendly with the P.M. but later soured on his political decisions, especially Blair's support of the Bush Administration's plan to invade Iraq. (With some ghoulishly good timing, Blair had to spend six hours last month defending his Iraq record in the Chilcot Inquiry.) The book, published in 2007, was widely seen as Harris's score-settling.

...flashes a grin as affable as it is concealing. There's also a Halliburton-type company, called Hatherton, that links the P.M. to George W. Bush. But Lang and Olivia Williams, in the role of his bright, prickly wife Ruth, are a good fit for Tony and Cherie Blair. Then again, they could be another political power couple, Bill and Hillary Clinton: the salesman and his less charismatic but brilliant wife. Is the woman betrayed by the man, or is she controlling him, or both? Could either a U.S. President or a U.K. Prime Minister be a Manchurian candidate...
