The Independent has been given details of the legal defense the BBC lawyers were suggesting that the BBC use after the Hutton Report was published, pointing out the legal errors Lord Hutton had made. Instead, with Davies and Dyke gone, they rolled over and apologised unconditionally. Is this possibly because those in the frame to replace the Chairman and Director General are proteges and friends of Lord John Birt, the much disliked previous D.G. that Dyke replaced, who now has a high position in 'policy' and 'blue skies thinking' in Tony Blair's cabinet?
