BBC NEWS | Politics | Blair's 'shameful' treatment of Kelly:
"Tony Blair's evidence at the Hutton inquiry has failed to defuse criticism of the government's treatment of arms expert Dr David Kelly.
The Tories and Lib Dems criticised Mr Blair as it was announced by the Hutton inquiry that it would publish 130 new documents on Friday at 1400 BST.
Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith accused the prime minister of 'underhand' and 'shameful' treatment of Dr Kelly, who killed himself days after giving evidence to a government committee..
Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy said he was not sure if 'knowing what we know now' MPs would back war with Iraq. "
Bit late now Charles. Still, I'm sure the 6000 dead Iraqi civilians won't mind you having second thoughts now.
