Alistair Campbell
New
Labour
Alastair Campbell, was an outright liar - and that this can be proved by
evidence presented to the Hutton Inquiry itself. Campbell lied repeatedly when
he appeared before the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee, when MPs
investigated the failure of Allied forces to find Weapons of Mass Destruction in
the aftermath of the invasion of Iraq. These lies included Campbell's entirely
false assertion to MPs that he had never apologised to intelligence chiefs after
the publication of his so-called 'dodgy' dossier on WMD of February 2003. In
fact, he later admitted in a private hearing of the Commons Intelligence and
Security Committee that he had made just
such an apology. [2009 Jan]
Five years on from Hutton and we STILL haven't been told the truth about
the war based on lies
Campbell's most serious lie came when he told MPs that the infamous statement
that Saddam Hussein was capable of launching a WMD attack within 45 minutes had
never changed in the drafting process. Campbell himself, in fact, had asked for
the wording to be changed - as evidence to the Hutton Inquiry showed - so he
was being quite exceptionally dishonest when he told the Foreign Affairs
Committee that it had remained the same. Lord Hutton apparently chose to ignore
this clear evidence of dishonesty when reaching his conclusions.
