Tony Blair Quotes
[Blair has made clear that he believed the threat was real and had pressed for broader anti-terrorism powers that critics said would endanger Britain's traditional freedoms.] Should any terrorist act occur, there will not be any debate about civil liberties... There will be a debate about the advice the government received and whether they followed it. I've got the advice, I intend to follow it.

[Blair turned up the pressure at the recent G8 Summit held in Gleneagles, Scotland. Overshadowed by the terrorist attacks on the London transit system that occurred during the summit was Blair's continued call for the United States to do something about global warming.
