	John Scarlett \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		But Mr Scarlett told the inquiry that the officers who drafted it had "no recollection of any particular reason" for the change and though there was "normal" discussion about the wording was not aware of any concern about the way in which the claim was being expressed.
		He suggested that David Kelly, who Andrew Gilligan had implied believed the intelligence related to missile warheads, had probably not seen the original intelligence report and "was in a state of genuine confusion about what [it] actually said" since it referred to battlefield mortar shells or small calibre weaponry.
		Mr Scarlett has, unsurprisingly, made no public appearances since the inquiry, although he was the (unnamed) target of a public rebuke from a former head of the JIC, Sir Roderic Braithwaite, who accused the JIC (along with MI5 and MI6) of having "stepped outside its traditional role" in making the case for war.

	John Scarlett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fluent in Russian, Scarlett was educated at Epsom College and Magdalen, Oxford where in 1971 he received a first class degree in History.
		Scarlett gave evidence at the Hutton Inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Kelly's death.
		It became clear that Scarlett had worked closely with Alastair Campbell, then the Prime Minister's Director of Communications and Strategy, on the controversial dossier, with Campbell making drafting suggestions which the inquiry found may have "subconsciously influenced" Scarlett and the JIC.

		John Scarlet was cleared of any improper behaviour by Lord Hutton's inquiry, but the evidence from the inquiry's public evidence sessions left many thinking that he had betrayed MI6 by twisting its intelligence to make the government's case for war in the controversial dossier on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
		But once John Scarlet was put in charge of the project to publish intelligence on Iraq's weapons, some felt he accepted too many drafting changes from Number 10 staff and strengthened possibilities into certainties when the intelligence didn't support it.
		Mr Scarlett helped out with a Ministry of Defence press releases at the height of the crisis over David Kelly, and even advised the Prime Minister on what David Kelly might say if he were to be called as a witness before a parliamentary committee.

		John Scarlett has been made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in the New Year list - an honour given to members of the diplomatic service.
		That was partly because of Mr Scarlett's defence of the government's Iraq weapons dossier during Lord Hutton's inquiry, and was not helped by the fact that Tony Blair's former spin doctor, Alastair Campbell, apparently refers to Mr Scarlett as "mate".
		Then, Mr Scarlett was chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, a body which includes all the chiefs of all the intelligence agencies, and was responsible for the September dossier.

	Downing Street Says...: John Scarlett
		Asked what was being done to protect John Scarlett's security given the fact that his identity had been revealed during the Hutton Inquiry proceedings, the PMS said that it wasn't our policy to discuss the security arrangements for the Chief of the SIS, as to do so would completely defeat their purpose.
		John Scarlett is as good an appointment as any; nobody sitting in that position will be able to prevent a government interested in misusing intelligence from doing so.
		As this press report from America shows, the appointment of John Scarlett is being reported abroad as a tainted appointment because of his association with the drafting of the infamous dossier on Iraq's WMD presented to Parliament in September 2002: http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/news/breaking_news/8604010.htm

	t r u t h o u t - Blair's Intel Chief Sought 'Lies' on WMD
		John Scarlett suggested that the Iraq Survey Group report should include claims about Saddam Hussein's supposed arsenals - which had already been proven unreliable, an unnamed member of the ISG was quoted as saying in The Mail on Sunday.
		Mr Scarlett - who takes up his role as head of the secret intelligence service this week - sent a confidential email to the head of the ISG on 8 March with a list of 10 "golden nuggets" for possible inclusion in the report, it was claimed.
		Among the "nuggets" supposedly put forward by Mr Scarlett were claims that Saddam had a secret smallpox programme, that Iraq had developed mobile chemical weapons laboratories and that it possessed or was building a "rail gun" as part of a nuclear project.

		Mr Scarlett was exonerated of wrongdoing by Lord Hutton, but that alone should not suffice to damn him.

	John Scarlett Named Head of Britain's MI6 Intelligence Service - Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community
		John Scarlett was named head of the U.K.'s foreign intelligence service MI6, four months after he was cleared of any improper behavior relating to the drafting of a government dossier on Iraqi weapons.
		Scarlett was in charge of writing the September 2002 dossier on Iraq's banned weapons program, which was released to help justify the Iraq war.
		While "there was nothing improper'' about Campbell and Powell making suggestions to Scarlett, ``the possibility cannot be ruled out'' that the suggestions "may have subconsciously influenced'' Scarlett and his staff, said Hutton, known as Lord Hutton since he became a member of the House of Lords in 1997.

		When evidence of the spin doctors' involvement in the dossier emerged late during the Hutton Inquiry, it was falsely claimed by John Scarlett (Section 83) that they had only attended drafting meetings and not taken part in actual drafting.

		Mr Scarlett's appointment by Prime Minister Tony Blair to the top job in MI6 on May 6 sparked controversy because he was expected to come under close scrutiny in Lord Butler's inquiry into intelligence failings in the run-up to war in Iraq.
		In his previous role as chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee, Mr Scarlett was responsible for signing off the notorious September 2002 dossier which wrongly alleged that Saddam Hussein was capable of deploying weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes.
		Mr Corbyn later told PA News: "Since the inquiry is going on into the effectiveness or otherwise of the intelligence service and he is part of the subject-matter of the inquiry, it seems very strange that he should be promoted in the middle of the inquiry."

		Cook later says in his diary that Scarlett's summary was “shorn of the political slant with which No 10 encumbers any intelligence assessment.” After the meeting with Scarlett, Cook concludes that “Saddam probably does not have weapons of mass destruction in the sense of weapons that could be used against large-scale civilian targets.” [
		Sunday Times, 10/5/03 Sources: Robin Cook's diary] The diary reveals how before the war intelligence provided to Cook by John Scarlett indicated that Saddam Hussein probably did not have weapons of mass destruction that could be used to attack the US or Britain.
		Guardian, 10/6/03 Sources: Robin Cook's diary] Additionally, the diary shows that Tony Blair ignored the “large number of ministers who spoke up against the war.” He says that the officials in the foreign ministry were consistently opposed to the invasion of Iraq.
