Blair misled us all, says widow of commando
Lianne Seymour, whose husband was killed in the war, accuses the PM of a
breach of trust

The widow of a British commando killed in the Iraq war has accused Tony
Blair of "deceiving" her husband with misleading claims about Saddam
Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

Lianne Seymour lost her husband Ian, 27, a Royal Navy communications
mechanic, in a helicopter crash in Kuwait hours after the war began. She has
been left to raise their son Beck, three, on her own.

Now, following the growing controversy over Iraq's "missing" arsenal of
chemical and biological weapons, Mrs Seymour has become convinced that the
war was unjustified.

Thousands of servicemen and women will share her growing sense of personal
betrayal, she claimed - and feel doubly suspicious about the next call to go
to war.

The "contradictions and deceiving" by Mr Blair "disables our servicemen and
women, and it must make them uneasy for future possible conflicts", she
said.
