Wonder if CNN and BBC will headline their claim was wrong? They sure as heck "sexed up" a claim that was fabricated!

Moreover, those keeping score will note that the inquiry into the suicide of a government weapons expert shows that the BBC's claim the government "sexed up" reports on Iraq was baseless. Reporter Andrew Gilligan testified Wednesday that he'd been wrong when he suggested the government had "fabricated" the charge that Iraq could deploy weapons in 45 minutes, wrong to suggest the government was being dishonest, wrong to report his own views as if they were those of the late scientist. Somehow Mr. Gilligan says he still stands by the central thrust of his report, though by now we've lost track of what's left that hasn't been withdrawn, corrected or discredited.
