One excerpt in particular, where an explorer speaks of shooting natives, was clearly chosen to add to Meiberg’s already overdrawn sloganeering, which after listening...

The dossier also suggested that missiles could be launched within 45 minutes. Campbell told the inquiry that British media sensationalized coverage of the dossier, focusing on the 45-minute claim and implying British targets. But in 2003 the journalist Andrew Gilligan, who worked for the BBC, said Campbell had "sexed up" the dossier. The source for his report was a government weapons expert, David Kelly, who killed himself during the ensuing bitter row between Downing Street...
