Blair Goes on Trial for War Crimes in U.K. TV Drama (Update1)

By David Altaner

Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- It's the year 2010. Hillary Clinton is president, George W. Bush is back in rehab, and Tony Blair is working on his memoirs...``Father, I feel I have sins to confess,'' he tells a priest, in a scene that would suit Tony Soprano as much as Tony Blair. ``Mortal sins.''

These are excerpts from U.K. Channel 4 network's ``The Trial of Tony Blair,'' which imagines the prime minister pursued for war crimes. It airs tonight.....In ``Trial,'' Blair hangs on past his promised 2007 retirement date to deal with the aftermath of the British, U.S. and Israeli bombing of Iranian nuclear sites. ...He is abandoned first by Hillary Clinton, who distances herself from the war, then by the new U.K. prime minister, Gordon Brown, who has suffered too many of his predecessor's slights.

Blair, played by actor Robert Lindsay, nearly howls when he realizes he may be called to account for the Iraq war. ``I tried to do the right thing. I didn't know it was going to be such an almighty balls-up!'' he cries. ....Blair's chief spokesman Tom Kelly said the Prime Minister was not worried about docudramas or talk of war-crimes charges. ``That is the silliest question of the year so far,'' he said. .....

4. I'd rather see "The Trial of Tony Snow"
I find that prospect much more satisfying
