However, the Iraq war in which he was an accomplice of Tony Blair made many people depressed and thousands dead. That is the difference.
Arab Weekly says the following "The British secret service, known as MI6, knew that Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, whose real name is Ali Muhammad Abdul Aziz al-Fakheri, was tortured and failed to blow the whistle despite saying the agency had been “tempted to speak out.” MI6 officers witnessed Libi being sealed alive in a coffin before being loaded onto a military plane bound for Egypt where he was tortured. Despite this knowledge, MI6 sent questions to be posed to Libi by his torturers and received regular updates on what he was saying. One of his tips was that al-Qaeda was linked to Saddam’s alleged nuclear weapons programme and three terrorists had been sent to Iraq for training."
"As it turned out, the intelligence turned up by Libi’s interrogators was bogus. Oddly enough, a man will say almost anything when he is sealed in a claustrophobic environment such as a coffin, subjected to electrocution, beatings and many other forms of torture. Libi later told the CIA, after he was transferred to its custody, that he lied about the intelligence just to make the torture stop."

Wikipedia says the following: "There were 460,000 deaths in Iraq as direct or indirect result of the war including more than 60% of deaths directly attributable to violence. Overview: Iraqi death estimates by source Summary of casualties of the Iraq War."
Campbell has blood on his hands.You would think those deaths would weigh on his conscience.
The latest exploit of this bog-standard Blairite has been to vote Liberal Democrat in the Euro elections. At the time of writing he has not been expelled for this despite the fact that he appears on the BBC every five minutes to attack the Labour Party in one way or another.
