Blair is distorting the facts - Iraqi newspaper

Iraq today blasted Prime Minister Tony Blair, with an official newspaper accusing him of ‘‘moral degeneration’’ for echoing US war threats.

‘‘It seems Blair has reached such a level of moral degeneration that he not only justifies total subservience to Bush but also justifies lying to and misinforming the British public opinion ‘‘ the ruling Baath party Al-Thawara newspaper said in a front page editorial.
