A LAST-minute attempt by the government to influence the Hutton Report included an effort to smear the name of Dr David Kelly, by claiming he refused to face up to facts after he was identified as the source of Andrew Gilligan’s story.

In a 128-page document submitted after Lord Hutton had finished taking evidence - and which was kept secret until after the publication of the report - the government claimed Dr Kelly was not an easy man to help, that he refused to face facts, and that his employers had done all they could to help him.

A number of points appear in both Lord Hutton’s report and the government submission. They include the conclusion that Mr Gilligan’s story represented an "attack on the integrity of the government", the contention that the BBC governors could have investigated the government’s complaints without infringing the corporation’s independence, and the claim that it was necessary to name Dr Kelly to avoid accusations of a cover-up.



Here's another major development for the Friday afternoon news dump. Basicly, Blair wrote the Hutton report or at least significant parts of it. This investigation is beyond whitewash, Hutton is a conspirator in the cover up.
