Susan Watts: But the reference to 45 minutes was there in the prime minister's speech to the Commons on the day he published his famous weapons dossier.

Susan Watts: Our source was not disputing that the 45 minute assessment was included in the dossier by the intelligence services, although he did say he felt that to have been a mistake.

The study, by Susan Watts, assistant professor of management at Purdue University, Mark Bagnoli, visiting associate professor of finance at the University of Michigan, and Messod Daniel Benish, associate professor of accounting at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, will be presented at a conference in Hong Kong in June.
Watts and her colleagues compared 943 whisper forecasts, culled mostly from Web sites and electronic bulletin boards, and more than 3,500 traditional analyst forecasts (provided by First Call Corp., a division of Thomson Financial Services) for the same 127 firms over a period from January 1995 to May 1997.
For example, Watts says the analysts' forecasts often were released on First Call during the first week of a new quarter, with revisions of forecasts occurring relatively infrequently.

 Campbell claim was 'gossipy aside'; dismissed Kelly's claims against Campbell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Watts' comments will be seized upon by Alastair Campbell and other BBC critics, who launched a bitter and protracted campaign against her colleague Andrew Gilligan's reports on May 29 claiming the government had "sexed up" the Iraq dossier.
Watts said she and Dr Kelly discussed the possible significance of the 45-minute claim, saying that he told her the Iraqis were "playing around" with a multi-barrel launcher in 1991.
Gilligan's account was supported by Susan Watts, another BBC reporter who spoke to Kelly about the issue of Iraqi weapons during May. Watts told the inquiry that on May 9 she had a telephone conversation with Kelly, who mentioned Campbell in connection with the 45-minute claim.

Susan Watts is the science editor of the BBC's Newsnight programme, joining the programme in January 1995.
Watts' notes and recording showed that Kelly had made remarks very similar to those attributed to him by Gilligan; her shorthand notes read: In journalism attribution is the identification of the source of reported information.
There she told Lord Hutton that she regarded Kelly's remarks about the involvement of Alastair Campbell in the strengthening of claims in the dossier as no more than a "glib statement" and a "gossipy aside" for which Kelly had no evidence.

Watts was furious with BBC management and accused her bosses of making "misguided and false" attempts to use her to corroborate Gilligan's reports and get them out of trouble.
Watts' shorthand notes of her conversations with Dr Kelly included the words: "A mistake to put in Alastair Campbell seeing something in there, single source but not corroborated, sounded good".

 BBC Susan Watts shock u-turn,denying David Kelly told her Campbell inserted 45 minute claim.
BBC Newsnight reporter Susan Watts appears to have made a shock u-turn, denying David Kelly told her Alastair Campbell had inserted the claim Iraq could launch weapons of mass destruction within 45 minutes into the government dossier making the case for war.
Watts, Newsnight's science editor, hit out at coverage of her evidence in today's newspapers, saying they had "misinterpreted" her comments to the inquiry late yesterday afternoon, when she said Dr Kelly named Campbell in a "gossipy aside".
Watts' comments, made 10 minutes into the inquiry this morning, came as a bombshell to the hearing and prompted journalists to dash out of the high court to relay the latest revelations.

 GN Online: The Hutton enquiry ...
On Wednesday, however, Susan Watts, continuing her evidence, complained that the press had misinterpreted her remarks.
Watts further surprised the court by revealing that she had hired her own solicitor rather than rely on legal help from the BBC, because she felt pressured by the Beeb's bureaucrats to "mould" her story in such a way as to "corroborate" Gilligan's report, which she felt was not entirely accurate.
Reading the transcript of Kelly's telephone conversation with Watts – and it is poignant to think that the poor man killed himself over such fine distinctions – one discovers that the "forty-five minute" claim was "single-sourced" and that it probably should not have been included in the intelligence dossier.
