A political move i hate the most, witholding information, till just before election day
Personally, Blair wasnt that bad of a guy, of course he was no Winston Churchill

Blair only has himself to blame for the timing. He has been asked before to release the memo and refused. He released the entire memo now because portions had been leaked.
He can also blame himself for getting in bed with Dubya and waging a very unpopular war.

He can also blame himself for getting in bed with Dubya and waging a very unpopular war. Exactly. Its hard to feel too sorry for the guy as he seems to be infinitely smarter than Bush. He should have known better.
