A lesson on how not to do journalism by the Daily Mail

The Daily Mail's attempts at reigniting the Iraq controversy are frowned upon by John Rentoul writing at Independent minds this morning

Utterly unrepentant, a stranger to self-doubt and still insisting his conscience is clear - an unwittingly revealing interview with Tony Blair...

Yes, it is the Daily Mail again.
