So when were these pages provided to the Inquiry? This, despite Hughes appearing before Lord Hutton on 21 August, one whole month earlier, to say that all documents would from that day be put on the website (with a few exceptions) That did not happen.<br /><br />Incidentally, GS = Godric Smith. CR = Catherine Rimmer,former BBC journalist of Tony Blair's research and information unit,who was at the Downing Street meeting at 8.15am as per notes made by John Scarlett of MI6, strangely only written on 21 July when I guess , balloon having gone up, everybody was dashing to get all ducks to line up.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-40300230587638489082011-04-18T04:50:59.612+01:002011-04-18T04:50:59.612+01:00Andrew

In the end, the FAC let Dr Kelly off the hook, and it was left as an unknown.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-64617231054337745812011-04-16T19:38:39.105+01:002011-04-16T19:38:39.105+01:00Felix, good point about Campbell being quiet betwe...Felix, good point about Campbell being quiet between 10-14 July. Even taking out the weekend (12-13) that still leaves 10, 11 and 14 July. I suppose that once Dr Kelly had been outed Campbell had achieved one aspect of what he wanted and it was just then a case of waiting for the FAC meeting to take place.brian in the tamar valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475701925894027724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-70606488054285863312011-04-16T17:24:50.285+01:002011-04-16T17:24:50.285+01:00I think receiving a CMG tends to point one in a ce...I think receiving a CMG tends to point one in a certain direction, and it is very difficult to do a U-turn.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-82615992813325683052011-04-16T16:34:37.184+01:002011-04-16T16:34:37.184+01:00Strange period omission in that "Campbell dia...Strange period omission in that "Campbell diary": 10-14 July. <br /><br />David Kelly, the missing days. <br /><br />He is "in Cornwall" and nobody is discussing him. <br /><br />Why was Campbell looking forward to the FAC appearance?felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-53004188469226925372011-04-16T14:53:16.607+01:002011-04-16T14:53:16.607+01:00I wonder which aspect(s) Campbell viewed as a &quo...I wonder which aspect(s) Campbell viewed as a "disaster"?Andrew Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03829322263100808179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-53583821861793747752011-04-16T13:11:21.246+01:002011-04-16T13:11:21.246+01:00It's interesting that Campbell seems to have v...It's interesting that Campbell seems to have viewed the Foreign Affairs Committee appearance as a "disaster".
