AN IMMEDIATE THREAT: The source for the BBC's claim that the case against Saddam's WMDs had been "sexed up" turns out to have believed the opposite. Scientist David Kelly, who killed himself during the controversy, sided with most other experts in believing that the threat from Saddam was "immediate": In the interview Dr Kelly was asked whether there was an "immediate threat" from Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. He replied: "Yes there is. Even if they're not actually filled and deployed today, the capability exists to get them filled and deployed within a matter of days and weeks. So yes, there is a threat." The BBC looks worse and worse - but it is to its credit that this revelation came from its own documentary department. andrewsullivan.com
