The BBC says senior figures "right at the top" of government no longer believe weapons of mass destruction will be uncovered in Iraq.
The claim looks set to deepen divisions over whether the war was justified, as well as reignite a row between the government and the broadcaster over Iraq coverage.
BBC governors have defended the corporation's news team in the row with the government over claims Number 10 "sexed up" a dossier on Iraqi weapons.
They called on Downing Street's director of communications Alastair Campbell to withdraw his allegations that the BBC's reporting of the Iraq war was biased.
But the bitter confrontation looked set to continue as Downing Street replied by saying the BBC was "still trying to defend the indefensible".
In this respect?as a robust counterpoint to the American media?the Guardian (to which I sometimes contribute) had had a very good war. It became an almost-fashionable read on select U.S. campuses and in certain American liberal circles. Traffic on its Website, which has had a steadily growing American audience, climbed dramatically during the war. The electronic Guardian was the alternative press?if you were looking for one.
Still, when, during a coffee break, Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian?s editor, said to me, in a most offhanded way, ?We?re coming to America,? I assumed he was talking about a personal visit.
?Well, let?s definitely get together,? I politely said.
?No,? he said. ?We?re bringing the Guardian to America. We?re going to publish an American version.?
