Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair
A British lawmaker is using an obscure parliamentary rule to try to impeach Prime Minister Tony Blair for misleading citizens over Britain's involvement in the Iraq war.
Adam Price, a member of the Welsh Plaid Cymru party, said Thursday he plans to revive the "Principle of Ministerial Accountability," last used more than 150 years ago.

Mr. Price is backing his claims with a 99-page report, that he says details how Mr. Blair was less than honest when he insisted that last year's invasion of Iraq was essential for dealing with Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. Coalition forces never found such weapons in Iraq.
