The Hutton Controversy

An article about the Hutton Report, and David Kelly.

The Hutton Report appears to have added fuel to the controversy about the alleged

suicide of David Kelly. The Hutton Report apparently cleared Tony Blair of

“sexing up” the WMD data, and found that Blair was not responsible for the

suicide, or alleged murder of David Kelly.

The Hutton Report appears to blame the BBC for most of the allegations in regard

to the David Kelly affair. Andrew Gilligan, the Reporter who leaked Kelly’s name in the media resigned. BBC Director Greg Dyke was forced out, and BBC Chairman Gavyn Davies resigned.

There are several flaws in the Hutton Report that are blatant. First, the WMD dossier

was “sexed up,” or exaggerated as Gilligan had reported. US Weapons Inspector David

Kay has found no evidence of any WMD in Iraq prior to the war. Furthermore, Blair

was in the loop in regard to the weapons dossier, and used the report to justify the

invasion of Iraq.

There was a secret meeting between Sir Richard Dearlove, the head of MI6, and Kevin

Marsh at the BBC. The Observer found that Dearlove had told Marsh, that there was

a lack of coherent evidence for the WMD, so BBC Today editor Marsh, approved

of the content of Gilligan’s reports.

In regard to the suicide, or murder of David Kelly, Blair appears to have not been

involved. There has been a lack of evidence to connect Blair to any of the agents involved in the alleged murder, and it is possible that Kelly, may have taken his

own life.

The Hutton Report does blame the BBC for most of the intelligence problems that

the British government was responsible for. The Blair Administration is responsible

for the exaggeration of the WMD data, and the BBC was accurate in reporting that

the WMD data was exaggerated.

The Hutton Report is a blatant attempt to whitewash, and coverup the fabrication of

the WMD data that began during Operation Rockingham, and was later continued

at MI6, and other agencies. Blair is ultimately responsible for the fabrication of the

WMD data, and Andrew Gilligan was carrying out his responsibility as a journalist

to provide an accurate story.
