The desperate search for dossier evidence (The Guardian)
<snip>

British intelligence chiefs, under pressure from Downing Street, made a desperate plea to their agencies to search for something fresh to put into the government's dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, it was revealed yesterday.

The dramatic last-minute call to come up with new evidence was contained in an email from an unnamed intelligence official. It said Downing Street wanted the document "to be as strong as possible within the bounds of available intelligence".

The latest evidence of No 10's frantic search for material to harden up its dossier came in the third week of the Hutton inquiry into the circumstances leading to the death of the government's senior scientific adviser on Iraq, David Kelly.
