From The Guardian Diary 1 April 2008 (published before nnon)

Reader Richard Heller writes to say that since being received into the Catholic church, Tony Blair has started to feel serious guilt and remorse about the Iraq war. He has described the war privately as unnecessary and illegal and a ghastly mistake. A close family friend apparently reports that Tony was visibly shaken, almost tearful, when he spoke of it. He now intends to donate all of the proceeds of his lucrative speaking engagements to soldiers' charities. Thanks for that, Richard. It is indeed that day.
