Galloway: Blair's Death Would Be Justified
By DAVID STRINGER, Associated Press Writer

LONDON - Maverick British politician George Galloway has claimed it would be "morally justified" for an assassin to target Prime Minister Tony Blair, but he said he was not advocating an attempt, according to a magazine interview published Friday.

Galloway was quoted as saying an attack on Blair that caused no other casualties would be a justifiable response to Britain's support for the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.



"It would be entirely logical and explicable � and morally equivalent to ordering the deaths of thousands of innocent people in Iraq as Blair did," the monthly GQ magazine quoted Galloway as saying.

However, if he knew anyone was planning such an attack, Galloway added, he would tell police.

Galloway, currently in Cuba, verified the accuracy of his comments in a statement posted on the Web site of his political party, Respect.

"I think it's best that we say nothing. We may say nothing, but we think plenty," Blair's official spokesman, who speaks only on condition of anonymity, said by telephone from Washington, where Blair met with President Bush.

Galloway was kicked out of Blair's Labour Party in October 2003 for urging British soldiers not to fight in Iraq.

Why is he assuming Blair can be killed by earthly means?

I'm not so certain.










ps. How is it that I knew this was going to be an IGTG thread on Daves.
