Hutton Report and David Kay Testimony

The much anticipated Hutton report was released today, and it exonerates prime minister Tony Blair on charges of lying to the British parliament about the threat of weapons of mass destruction from Iraq. Former chief American weapons inspector David Kay also testified before a Senate Committee today, saying that poor intelligence gathering was responsible for the belief that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

Phillip Stevens, associate editor at the Financial Times, discusses the Hutton report’s key findings.

Guests:

Phillip Stevens, associate editor at the Financial Times
