Hutton’s who’s who

Weapons Expert

• Report concludes he took his own life

• Exposure to media was a major factor

• He probably had lost self-esteem and thought he had been publicly disgraced

• His BBC meetings were unauthorised

Exonerated

Prime Minister Tony Blair

• Cleared of blame over Kelly suicide

• Involved in talks over Kelly

• No underhand strategy to name Kelly

Defense Minister Geoff Hoon

• Unrealistic for MoD to keep Kelly name secret

• Did not inform Kelly his name would be revealed

• MoD officials supported Kelly

Alastair Campbell, Blair’s communications chief

• Cleared of “sexing up” the Iraq dossier

The Criticised

• Gilligan’s reports that dossier was “sexed up” were unfounded

• BBC editorial system was defective

• BBC governors failed to investigate Gilligan’s actions properly.
