"The Lawless World" a book which offers even more evidence that both Bush and Blair duped the U.N. about the need for war in Iraq.

Both governments will be horrified that the stream of leaks revealing the grim truth about the war is turning into a flood. The most damaging new revelation concerns the meeting between Mr Blair and Mr Bush at the White House on January 31, 2003, during which Mr Blair urged the President to seek a second UN resolution giving specific backing for the war.

The Mail on Sunday has established that the meeting was attended only by Mr Blair, his Downing Street foreign policy adviser Sir David Manning, Mr Bush and the President's then national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, plus an official note-taker.

The top-secret record of the meeting was circulated to a tiny handful of senior figures in the two administrations.

Immediately afterwards, the two leaders gave a Press conference in which a nervous-looking Mr Blair claimed the meeting had been a success. Mr Bush gave qualified support for going down the UN route. But observers noted the awkward body language between the two men. Sands' book explains why. Far from giving a genuine endorsement to Mr Blair's attempt to gain full UN approval, Mr Bush was only going through the motions. And Mr Blair not only knew it, but went along with it.

I will definitely be buying this book.

We need to get this information out to the public as often as possible. The point is that the lies that were told to justify the invasion makes our current occupation morally repugnant. Our President and Tony Blair both told boldface lies to make the case to go to war. That cannot be allowed to be swept under the rug. The truth counts!

This will never change the minds of the hyper conservatives over at Tim Blair orPowerline, but it should raise serious questions with Americans who have real concerns about how we went to war and what our ultimate goal is in Iraq.
