Hiding something else
Here's another astonishingly blatant non-answer - or non denial - from the Foreign Office concerning the involvement of spin doctors in drafting the dossier:
John Baron MP asked "the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs with reference to the draft of the Iraq dossier by Mr. John Williams dated 9 September 2002, whether (a) Mr. Williams and (b) any other communications official contributed further drafting material."
Foreign Office minister Bill Rammell replied:
The Iraq Dossier by Mr. John Williams was written solely by Mr. Williams.
Given that Baron had asked about "further drafting", Rammell's reply could not have been a more blatant refusal to answer the question had he said: "I refuse to answer the question".
So did the spin doctors sex-up the dossier after the Williams draft?
