Roger Bacon,
whose son Matthew was killed serving in Iraq, told RT that any money
raised in a civil case by military families against Tony Blair will
be donated to the Iraqi people to improve their lives.
Matthew
Bacon, a British Army major, was killed by a roadside bomb while
traveling in a lightly-armored Snatch vehicle in Iraq in 2005.
His bereaved
father described to RT his awe at the staggering success of the Iraq
War Families Campaign’s crowdfunding drive to fund a full legal
examination of the Chilcot Report for evidence challenging the
legality of the war.
The online
fundraiser hit its first target of £50,000 (US$66,000) within a day
of launching on Tuesday, and it is now rapidly approaching its
secondary target of £150,000. Roger said the funds are needed to
hire a “firm of lawyers to look at the Iraq report, to see just
what kind of illegalities or misuse of constitutional powers have
taken place.”
