Former prime minister Tony Blair's sister-in-law Lauren Booth, a rights campaigner and Muslim convert, said on Wednesday that he should be tried for war crimes over the invasion of Iraq.

Booth, the half-sister of Blair's barrister wife Cherie, is in Malaysia for lectures organised by Viva Palestina, a British-based organisation associated with controversial politician George Galloway.

Asked whether Blair should be arrested and sent to the International Court of Justice in The Hague for war crimes, Booth replied: "Absolutely. He misled the British people and took Britain to war on a lie."

His mother-in-law I could believe...

2. Can you imagine what it must be like at the table during Thanksgiving dinner?

5. Thanksgiving is an American feast day.

8. I knew that, of course!

But whenever a scenario involving bitter siblings or in-laws arises, that image is presented!

And as someone who has been in a similar situation, I can appreciate it! :D

3. Sort of nice to see Tony Poodle's little world fall apart.

Sure would be nice to see the same happen to Bushy.
Would love to see them sent to jail together.

4. Yeah, she pretty much lost me with her "Western women are oppressed, Muslim women are not" bit

Whatever. I imagine it has some religious nuttery behind it.

6. The SIL is a nutjob, but

anyone who can annoy that lying fuck Tony Blair gets brownie points in my book. Btw, anyone read Christopher Hitchens' fawning piece on Blair in the latest Vanity Fair? What a prick.

7. Booth is a fool. At best, she's a stopped clock being right twice a day. N.T.
