The Inside Story: Hutton, The BBC, and the Sexed-Up Dossier
![Jese Leos](https://deedeebook.com/author/hayden-mitchell.jpg)
In 2003, the world was gripped by the Iraq War. The United States and the United Kingdom, led by President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair, invaded Iraq, claiming that the country possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). However, no WMDs were ever found, and the war proved to be a costly and disastrous mistake.
In the lead-up to the war, the BBC broadcast a report that claimed that the British government had exaggerated the threat posed by Iraq's WMDs. The report was based on a dossier of intelligence that had been provided to the BBC by the government. However, the dossier turned out to be flawed, and the BBC was accused of bias and inaccuracy.

## The Sexed-Up Dossier
The sexed-up dossier was a dossier of intelligence that was provided to the BBC by the government.

The Iraq War was a major disaster. It cost the lives of thousands of people, and it destabilized the Middle East. The war was based on false pretenses, and it has had a lasting negative impact on the reputation of the United States and the United Kingdom.
