Brian Jones, a former defence intelligence official, told the programme, A Failure of Intelligence, he was "confused" and "couldn't relate to" Mr Blair's evidence to Hutton, notably the reference to a "tremendous amount" of information about Iraq's WMD programme.

I saw 'Failure of Intelligence'—the BBC's Panorama programme last night. Though I wasn't confused anymore. I know that Blair has been 'lying' or exaggerating the truth. There was very, very little information.

I have come to despise Blair. I am sickened by his hunger for power, his need to have a strong and lasting reputation. For this he will and has manipulated us over the issue of WMD in Iraq, spun and twisted his way through the Hutton inquiry with his mates the soon to be crowned head of spies at MI6 John Scarlet and master of press manipulation Alistair Campell so that he came out smelling of roses.

As a life long good socialist I'm saddened that I will not be voting for my party with him at the head, more, I will be campaigning against Labour, just so Blair will be removed from power.
