Meanwhile in Britain a judicial inquiry has cleared Prime Minister Tony Blair of exaggerating intelligence claims about Iraq in the lead-up to the invasion. The inquiry headed by Lord Hutton blamed the BBC for airing what it described as unfounded allegations that the British government had sexed up intelligence about Iraq. In response to the Hutton Report, BBC chairman Gavyn Davies submitted his resignation and the BBC issued an apology fort inaccuracies in its original report. The BBC’s original report on May 29 led to a chain of events that resulted in the apparent suicide in July of David Kelly. Kelly was a British weapons expert who was identified publicly as the source for the BBC story. The Hutton Report is being widely viewed as a whitewash by critics of the Iraq invasion. Parliamentarian George Galloway said “The establishment has exculpated the establishment from the crimes and blunders for which they were charged. The prime minister led us into a complete disaster. He is either a fool or a knave, either incompetent or a liar.”
