Guardian Unlimited Politics | Special Reports | No 10 'had ownership' of dossier, memo claims: "New documents released to the Hutton inquiry today appear to blow out of the water the government's central defence in their row with the BBC - that the controversial September dossier was always 'owned' by the joint intelligence committee (JIC) and not Downing Street.
A memo of a meeting chaired by John Scarlett, the chairman of the JIC, last September - seven days before the dossier was published - states that 'ownership lay with No 10'."
