The truth about the Williams draft

by Chris Ames posted at 2007-05-05 06:16 last modified 2007-11-08 13:50

The Information Commissioner's decision (5.06 MB pdf file) that the Foreign Office must release secret draft of the dossier produced by Foreign Office spin doctor John Williams is great news. But more significant than the decision is the revelation it contains, that the draft

was requested by the Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee to provide an expert’s view of how the information in the draft might be presented in a published document.

This firmly places the draft - and Williams - within the process of drafting the dossier, in spite of the government's evidence to the Hutton Inquiry. Joint Intelligence Committee chairman John Scarlett and Alastair Campbell expressly denied this. Williams himself forgot to mention that he had produced the document.
