摘要

When prime ministers are in trouble, they call for a judge to bail them out. Tony Blair's decision to ask Lord Hutton, an appeal court judge, to hold an urgent inquiry into the death of David Kelly (above), an adviser to the Ministry of Defence (MOD), provides the government with a breathing space. Mr Kelly killed himself after the government revealed his name as the source of the BBC'S report that the government had "sexed-up" intelligence information about the threat posed by Iraq. But this is more than the personal tragedy of a distinguished scientist crushed between quarrelling powers. Mr Kelly's death has raised the stakes for a government which is losing public trust and a public-service broadcaster whose journalism is under attack.
