ORAC, fair point. However, moving on, whether or not going to war with Iraq is legal is not of genuine interest to anyone apart from the lawyers who want to ingratiate themselves with the rich and powerful leaders and the leaders themselves who are desperate for a way out of the mess they're digging themselves into. There's a cosy little relationship up for grabs there.
Does anyone think that Bush and Blair give a monkey's cuss if a particular lawyer or the UN opines that a war is illegal. They'll just get someone else to opine it is legal. At the end of the day the situation is so complex that legal opinion will be split and the great leaders (my mistake, that title's already been grabbed by evil Kim) will cling to the one that favours their actions.
It's a right disgrace that makes a change from a right royal disgrace.
