Interesting, and contrarian, commentary by Martin Kettle, writing in The Guardian today on Hutton, and the UK media's 'circle-the-wagons denial of its findings. Quote: …

It's funny, all of this. Was just listening to a senior Labour party MP who accused Bush of setting up Blair, because Bushy-eyed-cracker-head is going to have his enquiry after the…
