Was the 45 minute lie used to convince the Attorney General?

BBC NEWS Politics Butler shows BBC was right - Dyke: "Lord Hutton cleared the government of inserting material it 'probably knew to be wrong' - including claims Iraq could launch WMD in 45 minutes - in the dossier. as claimed in a BBC report.
Mr Dyke said: 'Dr Kelly's allegation was that Downing Street had 'sexed up' the documents, i.e. that they had removed the caveats about the 45 minutes.
'We now know the caveats were removed. We are now told by Butler they should not have been removed.
'But nobody is telling us who removed them.' "

We all know who is responsible, but we don't know anyone who can hold him to account. The electorate don't seem to care at the moment. Blair still has an eight point lead in the latest polls.
