UK's Strongest Voice Against The War -- Robin Cook Dead at 59 | 13 comments (13 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)
Robin Cook was more than a critic of (4.00 / 3)
the second Iraq War.
It is inevitable that the tributes for Robin will give disproportionate weight to the recent past and his criticisms of the second Iraq war. For many who knew Robin over a long period, that was an area of ambiguity and it should not overshadow, far less contradict, his loyal and immensely important commitment to the Labour Party throughout a period of more than 30 years.

Robin commanded immense personal respect in every office that he held and the people who mourn him most deeply today will include the thousands of individuals whom he served exceptionally well, first as a councillor in Edinburgh and then as a Member of Parliament, first for Edinburgh Central and then for Livingston. Whatever the ups and downs of political life, Robin always served his constituents particularly diligently. http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1741402005
