True but I love the way that the government is still trying to take to moral high ground and demand a full apology from the BBC. They're not happy with the ' I'm sorry, it was my fault, I'll go' that they got from Dyke.

Lord Hutton's report cleared the government of "sexing up" its Iraq weapons dossier with unreliable intelligence.
How can the government be cleared on this point though ?

Fact: No WMDs or proof of there recent development have been found in Iraq

Is Hutton saying that the government didn't 'sex it up' but rather that the dossier was already completely unreliable in the first place and that they did nothing to 'imprrove' it ? in which case they must have known it was shaky evidence to be basing a war on.

I think we should be told!
