67: HUTTON ENQUIRY 01
So, were specific about the source on 45 minutes? Not that that necessarily means that it's not one and the same person, but, umm, you did name names, didn't you?
- Err, yep. I mean I did talk to him yesterday, so he may have picked up on what I said because I would have said exactly the same as I said to you.
Yes, so he presumably decided not to name him, but just to label this as number ....
[cuts in]
- Yep. Yep.
So are you getting much flack over that?
- Me. No, not yet anyway. I was away.
Yes, good timing I suppose.
- Yes. No. I mean, they wouldn't think it was me because I wasn't there. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. I just don't know.
Ummm.. so is that the only item in the report that you had concerns over being single-sourced rather than a doubles?
- You have to remember that I was not a part of that community. I'm just a user. Of course I'm very familiar with a lot of it, that's why I was asked to comment on it. But I'm not really deeply embedded in it.
But on 45 minutes you said .....
- Oh, that I knew because I knew the concern about the statement. It was a statement that was made and it got completely out of proportions. They were desperate for information which could be released. And it's unfortunate that it was because once they've picked things up there's no pulling it back.
- But it was against your advice that they published it?
I wouldn't go as far as to say that. I can't say that it was against my advice. I was uneasy with it. I mean, my problem was that I could give other explanations .....
