	UK's Straw Admits Iraq Dossier Was 'Embarrassing'
		The Downing Street dossier alleging Iraq could deploy biological weapons within 45 minutes was re-drafted several times to "present the best case" against Saddam Hussein, Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, admitted yesterday.
		John Maples, the MP for Stratford-upon-Avon, rounded on Mr Straw, telling him that the dossier was "amateurish and irresponsible and quite frankly fraudulent".
		Around Whitehall the four have been linked to the dossier ever since it came out, but Mr Campbell is said to have insisted on appearing before the parliamentary Foreign Affairs Committee today to clarify their involvement.

		On 15 September, the head of MI6 Richard Dearlove told the Hutton Inquiry that the claim related to battlefield weapons rather than weapons of mass destruction.

		We conclude that the claims made in the September dossier were, in all probability, well-founded on the basis of the intelligence then available, although, as we have already stated, we have concerns about the emphasis given to some of them.
		We conclude that the September dossier was probably as complete and accurate as the Joint Intelligence Committee could make it, consistent with protecting sources, but that it contained undue emphases for a document of its kind.
		We further conclude that the jury is still out on the accuracy of the September dossier until substantial evidence of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, or of their destruction, is found.

		At issue was the dossier prepared by the Joint Intelligence Committee and published by Downing Street in September describing the threat posed by Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.
		The impression of an imminent threat in the dossier helped Mr Blair to persuade MPs to vote for war in March after the publication of a second, so-called "dodgy dossier", which Downing Street admitted was based on a 12-year-old academic thesis.
		He agreed to provide the committee with papers tracking the production of the dossier to show he did not tamper with it.

	Politics \| The splits behind publication of the September dossier
		Intelligence officials were divided over both the content and language of the September dossier, the document at the heart of the row between the government and the BBC.
		The dossier consisted of intelligence obtained, mainly by MI6 but also by UN inspectors, and was put together by the joint intelligence committee, (JIC) chaired by John Scarlett, a former MI6 man, who was in frequent contact over its contents with Mr Campbell.
		The question is whether the assessments in the September dossier were skewed as a result of political pressure.

	Intelligence chief: Dossier exaggerated the case for war
		He said evidence in the dossier was "over-egged", the language was too strong and there were misgivings over the now-infamous claim that Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction in 45 minutes.
		He wrote in an e-mail to David Kelly, whose apparent suicide is being examined at the inquiry, that the dossier would become "tomorrow's chip wrappers''.
		The inquiry was told that the Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), which compiled the dossier, did not even meet to discuss the final draft of the document before John Scarlett, the committee's chairman, signed it off.

		Despite the dodgy dossier, war with Iraq may already be a done deal.

		Firstly, the 45-minute claim evolved from ‘a mere possibility to a certain judgment’ (Andrew Caldecott QC) in the September dossier; the late rewrite of the document was suggested by Jonathan Powell, the Downing Street chief of staff.
		Further, Hutton decided that the government was entirely justified in meddling with the September dossier, because the dossier was for public consumption.
		He did not go into detail about the nature of the changes made to that dossier at the behest of Alastair Campbell — who, in a break with tradition, was allowed to chair meetings of the intelligence staff.

		Britain's September 2002 dossier on Iraq's weapons program was compiled by the UK's intelligence service and used by Prime Minister Tony Blair as evidence during an emergency parliamentary debate to support the case for war.
		But allegations were made that the government had "sexed up" parts of the document by inserting a section claiming Iraq had the capability to launch a chemical or biological attack within 45 minutes of the order being given.
		The dossier also came in for criticism over claims that Iraq sought uranium from Africa -- a claim that was used by U.S. President George W. Bush in his State of the Union address on January 28, 2003.

		On 11 September, the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) published the report of its own inquiry into the dossier.
		As expected, the report cleared Alastair Campbell, Blair's former spokesman and the central figure both in producing the September dossier and in the "outing" of Dr Kelly.

		The Hutton inquiry is investigating the death of British weapons expert David Kelly who apparently committed suicide in July after being outed by the Government as the source of a BBC report that claimed the Government had "sexed up" its September dossier.
		The report, by BBC defence correspondent Andrew Gilligan, alleged that the Government had used information in the dossier that it knew to be untrue.

	Do not use 45-minute claim, CIA told No 10 \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		The CIA objected to claims in the British government's September dossier on Iraq's banned weapons programme, the issue at the heart of the Kelly affair, it was revealed yesterday.
		The 45 minutes claim was questioned by Dr Kelly, Whitehall's top adviser on chemical and biological weapons, both in conversations with BBC journalists and in evidence he gave to the foreign affairs committee on July 15, two days before he apparently killed himself.
		Yesterday, the FO revealed that the CIA was given a draft of the government's dossier on September 11 last year, the same day Alastair Campbell, the prime minister's communications director, saw it, according to evidence given to the Commons committee.

	The dossier transformed
		The last draft of the dossier available to the inquiry from 19 September was entitled "Iraq's programme for weapons of mass destruction".
		The suspicion that the intelligence community focused on Iraq's WMD potential rather than existing weapons is increased by the changes to the text visible in the limited excerpts released so far during the Hutton inquiry from earlier drafts of the September dossier.
		Even in the published version of the dossier, as BBC Correspondent Andrew Gilligan pointed out at the inquiry, the description of Iraq's potential to produce chemical and biological weapons is provided in detail, while the claim about continuing production is merely asserted.

		It was included in the dossier against their wishes because it wasn't reliable." He again described his source as "a civil servant in the non-secret part of the Civil Service as distinct from the secret part".
		It was not the intelligence component of the dossier, it was the history of the inspections, the concealment and deception by Iraq, which is not intelligence information.
		One is that the 45 minute assertion was entered late into the September dossier and, secondly, that the 45 minute assertion came from a single, uncorroborated source.

		He apologised to the student whose thesis was used as the basis of the "dodgy dossier", during questions from the Commons foreign affairs select committee.
		Despite the problems, he argued the accuracy of the dossier, which was intended more as a "briefing paper" for journalists, was "not seriously at issue".

		Labeled the "dodgy dossier" by the press and politicians, that file featured in part an unaccredited paper by a post-graduate student in the United States and claimed that Saddam's alleged weapons of mass destruction were deployable within 45 minutes.
		The committee said that in a government file published last September, the 45-minutes claim was given undue prominence and said the language used in the dossier was "more assertive than that traditionally used in intelligence documents".
		"The claims made in the September dossier were in all probability well founded on the basis of the intelligence then available....although we have concerns about the emphasis given to some of them," the report said.

		The dossier, a key plank of Tony Blair's case in persuading a sceptical British public to back the war, is now at the centre of an independent inquiry launched by the prime minister Tuesday into the intelligence used to justify the invasion.
		In his report Hutton acknowledged that Jones's concerns over the wording of parts of the September 2002 dossier were not acted upon by the "higher echelons of the Intelligence Service".
		Jones retired in January 2003 as head of the DIS scientific and technical directorate which was responsible for analysing all intelligence on nuclear, chemical and biological warfare.
