The Blair Rich Project: Channel 5 doc investigates Tony Blair's earnings since leaving office
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/blair-rich-project-channel-5-doc-investigates-tony-blairs-earnings-since-leaving-office-1568871Ahead of the publishing of the Chilcot Inquiry on Wednesday (6 July) – which delves into Britain's involvement in the 2003 Iraq War after a seven-year investigation – Channel 5 will air an eye-opening documentary about former Prime Minister Tony Blair's participation in the affair.
Monday night's (4 July) documentary – The Blair Rich Project – investigates the former Labour PM's business activities since leaving 10 Downing Street and examines how much money he has earned.
Though he hasn't been in office since June 2007, Blair has made headlines once again this week as his role in the Iraq War will be heavily scrutinised in the long-awaited Chilcot Report.
It was reported this week that prosecutors at the International Criminal Court will examine the Chilcot report for evidence of abuse and torture by British soldiers, but have already shunned the idea of putting Blair on trial for war crimes, cites The Telegraph. The decision is said to have outraged families of troops who died in Iraq who blame Blair for orchestrating events.

An import part of this war crime investigation of the Iraq War is how much Bliar enriched himself because his connections, IMHO.
