Dragon, I dont know what more can be said... you clearly don't believe that Blair can be PROVED to have lied, I think he has been proved to have lied.
On the plane to Hong Kong, he explicitly said he wasnt involved in naming Kelly. But we know, it is documented, that he chaired two meetings that were called to discus how they could get Kelly's name out. Blair clearly thinks he can say "well, I didnt actually have anything to do with it, it just happened to come up at this meeting" - but to me that is purely and simply a lie - he was aware of what was happening and his answer to the journalists was a falsehood, and there seems to me to be a clear intention to deceive.
About the 45 minute claim, we do know that Blair was advised it was probably not true. We know that for a fact. We know that all the evidence suggested that it as not true. What we cannot prove 100% is that Blair did not for some reason still believe it to be true, even though we can see the evidence suggested it wasnt. But Blair new the claim was dubious, we know that for a fact - either he chose to believe something he knew to be dubious or false - or he lied.
