Gilligan denies misrepresenting Kelly
BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan has denied he "misquoted or misrepresented"
Dr David Kelly in a report claiming Downing Street "sexed up" an Iraq
weapons dossier.
BBC director of news Richard Sambrook earlier revealed Dr Kelly was the
report's principal source after speaking to the family of the Iraq weapons
expert, who was found dead on Friday.
Last week Dr Kelly told MPs he had spoken to Mr Gilligan but did not believe
he was the main source for the report on BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
The senior Ministry of Defence adviser said: "From the conversation I had I
don't see how he could make the authoritative statement he was making
from the comments I made."
On Sunday, Mr Gilligan said Dr Kelly had "expressed very similar concerns
about Downing Street interpretation of intelligence in the dossier and the
unreliability of the 45-minute point" in both a meeting with him and in a
separate interview for BBC Two's Newsnight programme.
"These reports have never been questioned by Downing Street," Mr Gilligan
added.
The journalist's Today report said "a senior official" had told him the claim
that Saddam Hussein's "military planning allows for some of the weapons of
mass destruction to be ready within 45 minutes of an order to use them" had
been "included in the dossier against our wishes because it wasn't reliable".
'Profoundly sorry'
Downing Street communications director Alastair Campbell criticised BBC
director of news Richard Sambrook for allegedly saying Mr Gilligan's source
was "in the intelligence services" during a subsequent interview on Today.
On Sunday, Mr Gilligan said: "Although Dr Kelly had close connections with
the intelligence community none of our reports ever described him as a
member of the intelligence services, but as a senior official closely involved in
the preparation of the dossier."
BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan's report is at the centre of the row
Mr Sambrook said the corporation believed it correctly interpreted and
reported the information obtained from Dr Kelly during interviews.
He said the BBC had, until now, owed Dr Kelly a duty of confidentiality and
was "profoundly sorry" that his involvement as the source for the reports had
ended in tragedy.
Dr Kelly's body was discovered in woodland near his Oxfordshire home on
Friday morning, with a knife and a packet of painkillers close by.
A post mortem examination revealed he had bled to death from a slit wrist.
'Respect and restraint'
Prime Minister Tony Blair, speaking as he left Korea for China, said of Mr
Sambrook's statement: "I am pleased that the BBC has made this
announcement. Whatever the differences, no one wanted this tragedy to
happen.
"I know that everyone, including the BBC, have been shocked by it. The
independent Hutton Inquiry has been set up, it will establish the facts.
"In the meantime our attitude should be one of respect and restraint, no
recrimination, with the Kelly family uppermost in our minds at this time."
The government has set up an independent judicial inquiry, led by Lord
Hutton, into the circumstances surrounding Dr Kelly's death. Both Mr Blair
and the BBC have said they will cooperate fully.
Mr Sambrook's statement prompted Dr Kelly's local MP, Tory Robert Jackson,
to call for the resignation of the BBC chairman Gavyn Davies.
Ex-Labour minister Glenda Jackson has called for Tony Blair to quit, saying
the blame for Dr Kelly's death lay with Downing Street, which, she said, had
used a battle with the BBC to divert attention from the failure to find
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith has called for Parliament to be recalled and
for a broadening of the inquiry to investigate the government's handling of
intelligence on Iraq.
The prime minister said he would accept responsibility for all the actions of
government ministers and officials, but ruled out recalling Parliament.
