Shame Shame Shame on the BBC!

Looks like the BBC got caught with its hand in the cookie jar. Again:

The BBC, quoting what it said was a senior, credible intelligence source, said in May that Prime Minister Tony Blair’s aides had pressured security services to “sex up” a dossier on Iraq by including an uncorroborated claim it could fire chemical and biological weapons at 45 minutes’ notice.

Blair’s officials have furiously rejected the allegations and said David Kelly, a government weapons adviser who has acknowledged meeting the BBC reporter, did not match the broadcaster’s description of a high-level intelligence source.

“I believe I am not the main source,” Kelly told a parliamentary inquiry aimed at ending weeks of controversy over the identity of the government mole.

So the real question is. . . what did the BBC know and when did they know it!

Sad how journalists doctor up news stories like that. And to think that I formerly respected the BBC for what I had thought to be unbiased reporting. I guess I’ll have to look elsewhere for news. . .
