Impeachment or censure?

Impeachment hasn't been used in Britain since 1848. (Bill Clinton was of course threatened with it in the States in 1999.) Nonetheless the procedure may be more appropriate to Blair and the misuse of intelligence about Iraq than a less formal, simple vote of censure.

There is a good article on the subject in Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment
