Subject: BHA: Hutton Report - Tissue of lies?

There is no way that "Lord" Hutton is an objective person.




You are speaking for whom - yourself or others? You cannot enforce your opinion on others. Just because you have some preconceived notions about Iraq-attack intelligence and, Hutton's report mismatches those notions, is unpalatable, does not render his report less 'objective'. 

Just because Tim Murphy assumes the issue has been covered up, does not render it so. Can you cite concrete evidence of covering up? 

It was Gilligan who "sexed up" the report - the greatest fraud of 2004. 

The entire episode and the superficial manner of holding opinions conclusively proves, what I have always maintained, people barely know WHY they hold a particular view. Reading Bourdieu's 'habitus' might be useful for you. The cognitive structures are opaque, and there is only appearance of reasoning.
