Beeb bashed by Hutton report

Judging from its website, today's Guardian edition is devoted to the fallout from Lord Hutton's report on the Kelly/WMD/"sexing up" issue.   Essentially, Hutton found that the BBC screwed the pooch, big time.   In reaction to the report, the BBC chairman Gavyn Davies resigned late this afternoon.   I suspect that his will only be first of the heads to roll over the coming days and weeks.

This is a big vindication for Tony Blair.   One can only hope that this sorry affair will result in some real reform at the BBC.   (But I'm not holding my breath.)

Here is a link to the full text of the report.
