and what he said is still substantially correct. The only point that's been seriously disputed is whether Tony knew that the dossier was wrong when he was pushing it at us. Hutton didn't cross examine the bastard but took his word on trust.
It may be fair to be suspicious about the trustworthiness of some journos, but Gilligan's a good egg, who's very pro Forces, and even the bad ones are more trustworthy than Tony and his gang of amoral lying rogues. Moreover it's not just the media who have xcriticised Hutton as a whitewash - senior officers, people from the int community and almost any independent minded person with a brain have expressed similar doubts.
And if Blair did believe the 45 minute claim he should resign on the basis of incompetence and stupidity.
