Blair Offers Partial Apology for Iraq

"The problem is," explained the Prime Minister, "I can apologize for the information that turned out to be wrong; but I can’t, sincerely at least, apologize for removing Saddam."

The opposition dismissed Blair’s partial apology as "mere rhetoric".

Meanwhile, it emerged that a last minute change was made in Blair’s convention speech: The phrase "full apology" was changed to "partial apology".
