As his press chief, Campbell diverted bolts of anger away from a frequently unscathed Blair, but ended up smelling increasingly of sulphur himself. His bitter dispute with the BBC after its correspondent Andrew Gilligan said in 2003 that Campbell had "sexed up" a government dossier about Saddam Hussein's weapons capability claimed scalps at the broadcaster, Gilligan's and the BBC's top two bosses. The government scientist David Kelly, unmasked as Gilligan's source, took his own life in June. When...
