Tony Blair is to receive America's highest civilian award - the Presidential Medal of Freedom

A medal for Blair? No, he should be on trial for war crimes (Daily Mail 8th Jan)
"How bitterly ironic that now he is supposed to be a Middle East envoy - a task at which he has proved to be so totally ineffectual. He has made no difference to the situation there and is routinely ignored by everyone involved - just look at the invasion of the Gaza Strip by the Israelis."

Tony Blair's getting a medal from Bush for being Presidential Poodle. How shaming - and how lucrative (Daily Mail)

"The Medal of Freedom award will only help boost the Blair coffers. It is yet another shaming footnote to one of the most shameful episodes in our history.But, as the Presidential Poodle preens himself to accept it, the rest of us will again be reminded that shame is one thing that Tony Blair doesn't do."
