Tony Blair has asked the Queen not to travel out of the country in the middle of the coming week. The British "constitution" requires him to get her permission before taking the nation to war. Looks like the liberation begins on or about Wednesday.

Perhaps Mr. Choudhury can tell us whether

in the London Gazette, as I believe it is/
