One morning in May 2003 a BBC reporter, Andrew Gilligan, spoke on-air to John Humphys, presenter of Radio 4's "Today" programme. They discussed claims the government made before the invasion of Iraq about weapons of mass destruction and in particular the suggestion that WMD could be ready for use in 45 minutes. Gilligan went on to say that the dossier covering what the government thought Iraq was up to had originally been a rather tame affair and a source had told him that Downing Street had ordered it to be "sexed up". These words were to result in the suicide of Dr David Kelly, the Hutton report and finally the resignation of Greg Dyke, the author of this book, as Director General of the BBC.
