It's getting worse for Tony Blair. The Sunday Times reports that his ministers were under pressure to find ways to make the illegal regime change in Iraq legal. Money quote from the position paper:

The document said the only way the allies could justify military action was to place Saddam Hussein in a position where he ignored or rejected a United Nations ultimatum ordering him to co-operate with the weapons inspectors. But it warned this would be difficult.

“It is just possible that an ultimatum could be cast in terms which Saddam would reject,” the document says. But if he accepted it and did not attack the allies, they would be “most unlikely” to obtain the legal justification they needed
Why isn't the American mainstream media covering this? And then bloggers insist there's a liberal media.
