British Prime Minister Tony Blair testified yesterday during a judicial inquiry that he did not exaggerate the threat Iraq posed before the invasion and he defended how his government handled the case of David Kelly. Kelly is the dead British weapons expert who allegedly committed suicide after it was revealed that he had told the BBC the government had exaggerated Iraq’s arsenal. Blair became only the second British prime minister to appear before a judicial inquiry.
