As we're in to the final week before the Hutton report the BBC have decided to clear their evening schedule for a Panorama special to remind us of what happened where in the fight between the BBC and the Government. News to me however is that the previous October Dr David Kelly gave an interview to Panorama that was never broadcast, in which he made most of the objections he had to what the Government said, with it seems the one exception that he didn't blame Campbell by name. Of course, we will have to watch tonight to see if this gets mentioned, I don't remember seing any of this in the excitement over Kelly getting named as Gilligan's source for his Today report or in the furore following kelly's death or the Hutton Inquiry. But if it's true then it would seem to be yet another example of how the entire 'battle' between the BBC and the Government was at the personal instigation of Ali C, now departed Government Communications Head, because Gilligan named him personally as being responsible for inserting claims into the infamous dodgy dossier. If true it is him that has Kelly's blood on his hands and if true it's shameful he'll never be brought to book for Kelly's death.
