THE HUTTON REPORT




I don't know how many readers follow events in the UK and in particular the Hutton inquiry into the death of Dr. David Kelly. Today saw the publication of his report (although readers of The Sun newspaper were able to read a leaked summary of its findings over breakfast this morning). For news and comment visit the newspaper websites to which I linked in my previous post and also BBC News and ITV News online.

STATE JUDGE BACKS GOVERNMENT: WELL I NEVER!

"In the end what it comes down to is a judgement by Lord Hutton - who he believes, whose motives he trusts most and in that, again and again, he comes down on the side of politicians and officials, who by and large he believes and whose story, whose narrative he accepts and he comes down against Andrew Gilligan, and journalism, I have to say generally, and against the BBC."

-- Andrew Marr, BBC political editor
