"Tony Blair "very angry" that Prime Minister leaked Hutton Report"

Well, it looks like he got away with it, anyway.

I don't think anybody is too surprised that a Tony Blair appointee didn't find fault with Tony Blair but, still, it's annoying.

Roll on a proper inquiry into Iraq.

If I remember rightly the only people doing so were you and unknown kernel...

Heh. You know, for someone who "only goes on (this) board to annoy people", you're getting awfully tense and annoyed. Especially when you're questioned. Almost as if you haven't actually thought about what you've said in detail and, as such, are incapable of defending it.

Anything decent? Why yes...at the start of this thread you criticised everyone else commenting cos "they hadn't read the report". Yet you'd only read a summary. So why were you criticising them on those grounds alone?

What? I like supporting him despite the fact I've said I don't? Why Bell...it's almost as if you're not reading any posts and just responding without thinking.

Why are you asking me a quesion based on something Flockhart said? Okay...if you accept that Gilligan was telling the truth, the Kelly was a whistleblower. Easy to figure out really...

Don't bet on it; Bell is genetically incapable of not getting the last word...

thank god.

there is a big difference between what he said in public and what he said in private.

Now I really give up.

for gods sake! i thought you gave up.
september 2002 he spoke to the bbc saying he believed they had weapons.
june 2003 he spoke to gilligan because he was unhappy about 45 minute claim that had been added to the dossier,the two dont contradict each other.
gilligan wasnt accurate but you shouldnt be so naive to think that he came up with the idea out of thin air.

Duh. Of course it was 6 months previously you idiot. Thats why the clip is important - it's Kelly contradicting what Gilligan claimed...

I give up.

If you are representative of the people who think the Hutton report was a whitewash then Tony Blair may as well settle into Number 10 for the rest of his political career...
