Bush and Blair could face arrest once out of government.
A discussion between top international lawyers on Clive Anderson’s ‘Unreliable Evidence’ programme today (Radio 4) heard that Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush and Tony Blair could be treated the same as Augusto Pinochet (who was arrested when visiting Britain in 1998 and held for 503 days) when they travel abroad after leaving government. Many countries regard the attack on Iraq as an illegal act and might give our esteemed ex-leaders the Pinochet treatment.
