...though, it will be Campbell's relationship with Blair that will long fascinate. Which man was master, which servant? Observers sometimes found it hard to tell. The diaries reveal their rows as well as their intense friendship. 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...

Their anger tends to be ignored by Tokyo, which seems to want to discuss the "comfort women" issue only with Washington. In fact, when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe recently uttered the closest thing he's said to an apology on the issue, it was addressed to President George W. Bush at an April summit in Washington, rather than directly to the victims. Tokyo's obsession with Washington's opinion...
