I gave the references. Why not copy and paste the questions and answers
(they aren't long) rather than quoting one sentence and twisting what I
say, in what is a very blatantly dishonest manner? One wonders what you
think of your 'audience'.
I said:
>See his answers to Q42 and especially Q50-52 and 56
Well, let's.
***BEGIN***
Q42 Chairman: Yes.
Dr Kelly: The approach by Mr Gilligan was to consult with me before his
visit to Iraq as a broadcaster. He wished to know certain aspects of
Iraq, the UNMOVIC inspection process, some of the personalities that are
associated with the programme should he encounter them, some of the
sites that are involved in the programme. You may remember that just
before the war the Iraqi Government was inviting journalists to visit
the sites so they could see, according to Iraqi claims, that there was
no illicit activity occurring.
[...]
Q50 Mr Olner: The one on 22 May.
Dr Kelly: The outcome of the first meeting I had with him in February
was that he would provide me with feedback from his visit to Iraq,
[<--- THAT'S WHERE - OK? banana note]
since I am interested in Iraq, interested in other people's perspectives
on Iraq and the process. That was the reason for meeting with him, to
get feedback on that visit.
Q51 Mr Olner: Was this not a two-way process, that you wanted also to
communicate other things to Mr Gilligan?
Dr Kelly: No.
Q52 Mr Olner: It was simply a journalist fishing for information that
you had got and you wanted to give to him?
Dr Kelly: No, it was an occasion on which I expected to get information
about Iraq, about some of the personalities that he either had
encountered or attempted to encounter, his experiences during the war
[...]
Q56 Mr Olner: Really Mr Gilligan's story was basically about drafts of
dossiers being changed, being "sexed-up". Did you infer to Mr Gilligan
in any way, shape or form that he might have misrepresented what you
said?
Dr Kelly: My conversation with him was primarily about Iraq, about his
experiences in Iraq and the consequences of the war, which was the
failure to use weapons of mass destruction during the war and the
failure by May 22 to find such weapons. That was the primary
conversation that I had with him.
***END***
>>This is intelligence work, as I think you know very well.
>
>It seems to be journalism.
ROFL
Are you going to say what you'd expect a spook's relationship with a
spooked-up journalist to look like, if it doesn't look like the above?
Because how can you say something is not X if you aren't going to admit
to having any clue about what X looks like?
