a threat to Blair. This is still being spun as the BBC being out of line and attacking the government. The fact that it has been proved that the BBC's stories were based on what Kelly told them is being ignored in favour of a portrait of Dr Kelly as being squeezed between two large organisations (the government and the BBC, with the BBC under more pressure than the government). The alternative view, that he was an individual torn between two opposing duties (to the government which employed him, which was playing fast and loose with facts about which he had personal knowledge, and to the truth) isn't getting an airing. Instead the media are conspiring with Campbell (whose brass faced performance yesterday had been coached and rehearsed by lawyers who visited him at his holiday location over the weekend, a little detail which isn't getting much coverage as the papers rush to praise him) to cover the Bliar backside.
