Diary reveals 'steamed up' Campbell
Alastair Campbell wrote in his diary that it would 'fuck Gilligan' if David Kelly turned out to be source for the BBC reporter's allegations that the government 'sexed up' its claims about Iraq weapons.
Mr Campbell - writing on July 4, when he knew an MoD worker had come forward to deny being part of Gilligan's story - recorded a conversation with defence secretary Geoff Hoon in which they discussed the emergence of Dr Kelly.
'Says that he'd come forward and he was saying yes to speak to AG [Andrew Gilligan], yes he said intel went in late, but he never said the other stuff [that Downing Street intervened over the 45-minute claim].
[Gilligan was the journalist who has a 'source' high up in the MOD (British Ministry Of Defence) that could prove that Blair lied when he said that Iraq had WMDs. Campbell was the press secretary and Hoon is the minister of defence. Dr. Kelly was the 'source']
