BBC will present fresh details to support its claim that Blair exagerated

The BBC will present fresh details about how the Iraqi weapons dossier was allegedly "sexed up'' by Downing Street and accuse Alastair Campbell of giving "inaccurate'' evidence to the official inquiry into the affair.

Publication of the claims, in the next 48 hours, will reignite the unprecedented row just as the Blair Government appears keen to damp it down. According to senior sources, the corporation has decided at the highest level not to give in to the relentless pressure from the Government.

Unlike here in the US, the UK media has been hounding the Blair government over the Iraq lies. This has lead to counterattacks by the goverment on the media. It has also lead to Blair not being believed by a majority of the British public.
