Can we trust Tony Blair?

Recommended Posts

I can't find an original quote from Tony Blair on his first statement although I do remember sound bites from the time but contrast his 2 statements

Speaking to reporters on the plane en route from Shanghai to Hong Kong, the prime minister stated categorically: " I did not authorise the leaking of the name of David Kelly."



and then to the hutton enquiry he told them that he was responsible - I have extracted 1 of his exact statements

Quote


David Omand and Kevin Tebbit to come over and, you know, we discussed the issue. As I understood it, he was going to be reinterviewed, then we would be in a better position to know exactly what to do, but the very clear view of all of us, right at the very outset, was that if it became clear that in all probability he was the source, the information could not remain undisclosed.
