Experts grow more sceptical about extent of threat posed by Saddam before war
Focus on BBC row seen as limiting inquiry into intelligence.
The UK Guardian assembled a panel of weapons experts from both sides of the Atlantic - former inspectors, academics and soldiers - to ask them what they thought about the two British dossiers on Iraq as well as Colin Powell's crucial UN speech in January.
While they all recognise that Iraq used to possess weapons of mass destruction, they have grown substantially more sceptical about the extent of the threat. They also question the accuracy of prewar intelligence on Iraq and the use that the government made of it:
'No evidence...bogus plot links...plagiarized documents...largely discredited...widely ridiculed...no evidence...'
Sounds exactly like what we've been saying for almost a year now, doesn't it?
