This video is well worth the ten minutes: Bill Emmott, ex-editor of Silvio Berlusconi's favourite Communist gazette, the Economist, on editorial decisions over the war and on Blair. I like his line on Blair's case for war. Blair, Emmott argues, was attemping to represent truths about his beliefs on Iraq through the medium of evocative fictions. In other words, Blair is a Gonzo journalist. As Emmott points out, this is somewhat more forgiveable in an actual journalist than in a politician.
