End of week 1, and it is interesting that there is no consensus as to who ended up in worse shape.

(1) Andrew Gilligan is revealed to have been sloppy;

(2) David Kelly did believe that Andrew Campbell (or his office) interfered with the intelligence brief;

(3) The BBC seems to have put pressure on Susan Watts to corroborate Gilligan's story;

(4) The MODefence obviously put pressure on David Kelly, how much we are only beginning to learn;

(5) Kelly appears to have been as knowledgeable as anyone could possibly be, yet he seems to have been treated as some minor minion;

(6) It is about as obvious as it can be that the Iraq threat was negligible.

(7) The main issue is being lost in the focus on the 45 minutes business.
