Abstract
- Looks at the Hutton report and believes it only makes it harder to determine why Britain joined the U.S. in the Iraq war. Hutton report finding that the BBC was wrong and that Tony Blair and his ministers were right to go to war; The report which does not end the controversy over the war; Remarks by the Prime Minister that he did not deceive his country; Belief of the author that Blair was committed to joining George Bush in the war and sought intelligence to help make the case for him; Lazy assumption by the intelligence community that since there was no proof Saddam Hussein had destroyed weapons it must mean he still had them; Claim of a bigger conspiracy in the U.S. in the use of intelligence to justify the war; List of omissions by Lord Hutton in his report; How the report makes it more difficult to discover the truth; How the report hurt journalism.
