Blair's Iraq War comments sparks controversy

Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth has said he was "surprised" that Tony Blair said he would have gone to war even if he knew Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction.

The ex-PM said Saddam was a threat to the region and he would have used other arguments to justify the 2003 invasion.

But ex-deputy PM John Prescott said Mr Blair's words "fit in with" what he had said to him at the time.
