The British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, has defended last year's decision to go to war in Iraq, despite a report which described as 'unreliable' much of the intelligence used to justify the war.
In a House of Commons debate on the Butler report, Mr Blair said removing Saddam Hussein from power was not a war crime.
Conservative leader Michael Howard said the intelligence services had reported that material on Iraq was sporadic, patchy, little and limited.
He asked why the Prime Minister had instead told the country that the basis of the intelligence was extensive, detailed and authoritative.
Mr Blair denied that what he had said was wrong.
He also announced some changes to the way his government deals with intelligence, following the criticisms in the report.
