Tony Blair tried to distance himself from the row about the release of British detainees from Guantanamo Bay by blaming the Conservatives for the compensation payments they received.
The former Labour prime minister responded to critics who have questioned whether Jamal al-Harith should have been released from Guantanamo Bay in 2004.
Al-Harith, a Muslim convert, is believed to have been killed after he detonated a car bomb at an Iraqi army base near Mosul this week.
He was released from the US detention camp in 2004 and successfully claimed £1?million in compensation after saying British agents knew or were complicit in his mistreatment.
Mr Blair said in a statement: “It is correct that Jamal al-Harith was released from Guantanamo Bay at the request of the British Government in 2004.”
Al-Harith was one of 17 British detainees who between them received an estimated £20?million in compensation from the British Government.
Mr Blair pointed out that these sums were announced and paid by the coalition government.
He said: “He was not paid compensation by my government. The compensation was agreed in 2010 by the Conservative government.”
Mr Blair’s claims were criticised by Tory MPs.
Andrew Bridgen said: “It would appear that Mr Blair is attempting to rewrite history and his place in it, but it won’t wash.”

Also interesting is that when he was questioned regarding him negotiating the actual release of al-Harith, he refused to answer the question and again turned it around to blame the following government for the payout.
A payout that he had already agreed to and had made a fixed commitment to paying, strange that he missed telling that part of the story. The guy is just unbelievable and the sooner he gets taken to court the better!!

Rizla, how did you obtain that information if I may ask?
Credibility is important when it comes to information you kbow? I just want to read where you get all your sources.

I know because I watch UK live news programs, it is very difficult for a broadcast company to falsify a live interview. I also read many UK papers, both left and right wing, the topic is a story running recently in UK broadsheets.
I also took a lot of interest in the negotiations that Blair carried out while the PM, I disagreed with his policy then and still disagree with it now. I felt that to give compensation was a mistake, The amount was agreed prior to any court cases, by Blair, in the event that a claim was made. I and many others petitioned the Government to revoke that decision, but of course Blair just went ahead and signed the paperwork.
Maybe you can use Google?

Aha, we're watching the same Rizla, our live news are supposedly credible until the exposure of CNN, MSNBC, etc with the likes of Diane Sawyers and even stenophoulous?
Now let's keep our hopes that these news we watch are credibly truthful.

It should be noted that Al-Harith was released in to the UK in March 2004, whereupon he was then allowed back into society, this was under the PM Tony Blair, the leader of the Labour party, the labour party under Blair and Brown remained in power until 2010. Al-Harith started legal proceedings against the British government in 2004/5, and was finally awarded a large sum of money in 2010, just after the Conservative Government had been elected to power.
While it is correct that the actual payment was made by the Tory Government, the court case had started and continued from 6 years previously. Blair and Brown having already worked out a compensation system, which then forced the hand of the newly elected Government.

lindsyjones: I thought you have respect for any poster's choice of topic as allowed by the site.
You don't need to be on a thread that you don't like.
Politics, current events, are classified as topics allowed to be discussed. You amaze me how persistent you are.
Other than that have a nice day.
