The Hutton Inquiry report has been released in full, and it's looking very, very good for Tony Blari, and very, very bad for the BBC.

David Kaspar already has excerpts, so go take a look.

The headline in my CNN email alert says "Blair faces Hutton verdict," and the title on the article itself is, "Inquiry clears Blair over WMD report." One wonders when those headlines will start turning around and shining on the BBC and their reporter, Andrew Gilligan, who appear in all respects to be the guilty parties here. I won't be holding my breath.

This is a nice gift for my blogiversary.

Update: More links at Instapundit here and here...and here (BBC Chairman to resign?).

Norman Geras: "If, before the event, you'd tried to imagine the outcome Tony Blair wanted, this would have been it, no? You can be sure that, had it gone against Blair by so much as the width of a fingernail, those who want his head would in no time have been stretching this narrowness to reach across the land."

Ayup.

Update: Norm has more reaction to the fallout here.
