The whole thing is a mess.

At the least, the BBC's reporting did show that one senior person involved with intellegence had reasonable concerns about the dossier. That seems beyond any doubt.

Even the government seems to concede that the use of the plaguriesed document was a mistake and that the 45 minute claim was questionable.

I want to forget the smoke screens even if, it is as it appears to be the case, they have resulted in the unfortunate suicide of doctor Kelley.

Why was the dossier produced as it was, why wouldn't the UK and the US governments take the information from the UN weapons inspectors which has proved itelf to be more accurate than suggestions of imminent threats which could not have existed?

Who put pressure on who? A large number of the general public could spot something was wrong. Do our intellegence services have this power to con the governments but not the public, or do the governemnt have power to influence what gets into dossiers to suit thier ends?
