Independent: "The Blairs need money. With allowances, his current income amounts to around £277,000. Once he leaves the Commons - and no one expects him to stand as an MP at the next election - he is entitled to an office allowance of up to £87,000 plus a decent pension.
But the Blairs' famously poor choice of property investments has saddled the family with an annual mortgage bill of around £200,000. The new house in Connaught Square is alone mortgaged to the tune of £3.5m.
When one adds such incidentals as the £18,000-a-year cost of childcare and helping the Blairs' older children through university, the urgency for cash becomes abundantly obvious."
Tony could set up a Blair Charity to support war criminals. Cherie is a human rights barrister and is well suited to present the case of a downtrodden, needy and psychopathic ex-pm. Don't forget that the greedy are the needy of today.

Guardian: "Amid undiminished outrage after the Qana tragedy and complaints that the UN was doing nothing, Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, said she was convinced a sustainable ceasefire could be achieved at the security council this week.
But Israel signalled dissent hours after she left Jerusalem for Washington. Ehud Olmert, its prime minister, shrugged off international pressure: 'The fighting continues. There is no ceasefire and there will not be any ceasefire in the coming days.'"
JerusalemPost: "Reservist officer Captain Amir Paster was sentenced on Sunday night to 28 days in a military prison for refusing to take part in the fighting in Lebanon. It was the first case of refusal to serve in the army since hostilities in Lebanon erupted."
If the Israeli government thinks it can continue hostilities until the threat is removed, they will have to fight for thousand years. They are fighting the people and they seem to prefer a holocaust against the Arab population in the whole region. Victims tend to perpetrate the same crimes they had to suffer.
