If it's Wednesday it must be that time of the week when everyone wonders if Geoff Hoon's going to loose his job again. But down the bottom of this report we have some of Tony Blair's defense of his Defense Secretary.
Mr Blair denied that the report had been leaked by anyone in Downing Street and paid tribute to Mr Hoon, saying that under him British armed forces had won a "magnificent victory" in Iraq and were now playing a "heroic" role in the rebuilding of Iraq.
The 'magnificent victory' that's seen more allied troops die since it happened, and I wasn't aware that there was much rebuilding going on in Iraq yet, 'heroic' or otherwise.
