Blair "Astonished" by U.S. Media Coverage of Memos

Tony Blair denied U.S. media reports that a decision to go to war with Iraq was already made by 2002. Blair also said that he was "a bit astonished" at the U.S. media coverage of a single memo, which had no context for what was contained therein.

Welcome to the U.S. media world, Tony. Just like in the UK, a story doesn't have to be true to be reported - as long as it might hurt President Bush.
