But he has lost. In giving the government a clean bill of health over
this, (as in the Indy - "Whitewash"), there has been a total loss of
credibility

What Whitewash? The first time ever the DG and manager of the BBC has
resigned. If I thought it a whitewash I would stay and compile a list of
where their are inaccuracies and bias. The point is that the BBC ****ed up
and then painted itself into a corner.


You really haven't taken in the previous discussion, have you

It was a none issue made to be a major issue by a taboid media, and the BBC
has become tabloid to compete for viewers. The WMD? Kelly said, they could
get them up and running in days. Days is a very "short time". They also
had WMD and USED them.


What WMD?

He gassed some of his own people and invaded Iran (while being supported
by the UK and the USA)

He had tried to build up chemical and biological weapons, but these had
mainly been destroyed by the weapons inspectors or degraded years ago.
His attempts at building up a nuclear program were bombed and rendered
useless

IMM, when even George Bush is questioning the existence of WMD
(Elections are coming up, of course), it's only blind fools like you who
repeat ssuch idiotic mantras
