So much for the “damaging” inquiries which would supposedly show that Blair deliberately doctored intelligence to justify war in Iraq. The findings are: “wrong” and “Unfounded.”
Undoubtedly, the outcome will be the same in the US as well.
"LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Tony Blair basks in victory on Thursday with a major domestic policy speech after his surprising, near-total vindication in an inquiry into an Iraq weapons scientist’s suicide.
Senior judge Lord Hutton absolved Blair’s government of any serious wrongdoing in the death of David Kelly and said an allegation that the government deliberately doctored intelligence to justify war in Iraq was unfounded and wrong. "

Here’s another good part for those who want to believe every anti-Bush and anti-Blair thing bellowed out on the BBC.
“Hutton [the JUDGE] saved most of his ire for the BBC, damning the broadcaster for airing its story and standing by it without adequately checking whether it was true. The chairman of the BBC’s board of governors, Gavyn Davies, responded by quitting.”
Isn’t that ironic? Instead of Blair getting the boot, the chairman of the board of the BBC resigns in shame.
