Alistair Campbell is actually right that the media aren't interested in the getting to the 'truth' but simply setting their own agenda.

"Marr is poor on foreign affairs as such, and he really has no clue about the Middle East or about how wrong all this could well go for Blair and Britain, not to mention Iraq and the Arabs, in the coming months, on many levels."
