A senior intelligence expert who criticised Tony Blair over his Iraqi weapons claims is to leave his job... His contract as chief investigator to the parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee, which is due to end in October, will not be renewed... Mr Morrison's comment that intelligence officials reacted in disbelief to Tony Blair's claim came in a BBC Panorama programme broadcast two weeks ago... "Mr Morrison has worked for the committee for five years and his contract will end in October 2004. The committee has no plans to employ a new investigator," a spokeswoman said.
The fact he won't be replaced sounds as if it may be ominous, it's not clear what he actually did for a living but it sounds as if his non-replacement would make it difficult for the committee to have any kind of proper oversight over intelligence matters.
