Soldier's father to oppose Blair

The father of a British soldier killed in Iraq has announced that he plans to challenge Prime Minister Tony Blair for his seat in parliament.

Reg Keys, 52, said he would run as an independent in Blair's home district of Sedgefield, in northeastern England, in national elections expected in May.

"I'm coming for you, Mr. Blair, but I'm going to do it in a civilized way," Keys said in a news conference at the London studio of music producer Brian Eno. "I want to get the troops brought safely home. Get them out and replace them with U.N. peacekeeping forces."

1. Does this mean Brian Eno's helping his campaign?

If so, way cool. Another musician on our side.
