No WMDs

David Kay has quit his job searching for those elusive WMDs in Iraq. Seemingly it’s not just down to there being nothing out there to find, but personal reasons too.
But this is vital news in a week when the Hutton Report is published. While that report is specifically looking at the death of Dr David Kelly, it will also pronounce on the Government and the BBC, as well as some named individuals. What it won’t do is get to the bottom of whether there really was a case for war. I suspect that it’ll be a long time before anyone anywhere ever does.
