“It is impossible to imply, as some commentators have do, that there was an underhand strategy to expose Dr Kelly”
Really?
“The government could have battened down the hatches to ride out the storm..”
In theory, I suppose
“I conclude..that there was no such underhand strategy.”
“ The government were obliged to disclose that a civil servant had come forward to the Foreign Affairs Committee”
“ The Government acted reasonably in issuing a statement that a civil servant had come forward, and this was not part of an underhand strategy….. the press would of course pursue this with the greatest vigour”
Oh God, he’s really going to clear every man jack of them!
“The decision to issue the statement was taken by the Prime Minister”
