BBC Admits David Kelly Was Source for Disputed Iraq StoryThe reporter quoted his source as saying the government had "sexed up" its evidence on Iraqi weapons in order to justify war and insisted on publishing a claim that Saddam Hussein could deploy some chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes, despite intelligence experts' doubts.The question that must now be addressed, and whose answer may never be known, is this: Did the BBC "sex up" Kelly's questions about the weapons report to justify a media war against the Prime Minister of Great Britain and the President of the United States?
