Health Secretary John Reid told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he wanted to see a shift from the culture of a general allegation that "all politicians are self-serving and prepared to lie even about the greatest and gravest matters like going to war".
Well, perhaps politicians should actually stop being quite so self serving and being prepared to lie about anything (as the old joke goes, Q. How can you tell a politician is lying? A. You can see their lips move.). While we're at it, perhaps he can explain why there was no necessity to correct those journalists who had foolishly misinterpreted the dossier on WMD and point out to them that it was only tactical weapons, not strategic.
