Some of the key points from Lord Hutton's career. It's a shame this didn't become public knowledge at the start of the Inquiry, then the concept of Hutton coming down on the Government side wouldn't have been such a shock. Last night's Newsnight had Ali C on, even though he no longer works for the Government he put forward what will probably be their point of view for the next few months, "Are you still here? Why haven't you apologised for ever doubting us about anything? Why haven't you quit in disgrace? Why hasn't the BBC shut down?" while other people believe that Lord Hutton seriously misjudged or misunderstood the role of journalism in a democracy.
