» The questions Hutton should have asked

And what's especially galling is having seen all the transcripts, and noticed James Dingemans and Peter Knox asking questions which suggested they were interested not merely in whether Gilligan is a duff journalist (which we knew), but also in how our country's managed, and whether this can go badly wrong. The Hutton Inquiry had the potential to produce a fascinating analysis of modern British life - and now we'll never know what it would have said.
