How exactly would you suggest Blair checks ? Gets dropped into Iraq by parachute ? When it comes to matters like this intelligence reports are what you base your decisions on. If it turns out it was flawed intelligence I think an enquiry would be a good idea. However, considering just about every other intelligence service in the world believed the same thing I can see why it was believed to be credible intelligence that Iraq had WMD.
