Lyall, Sarah. "Soul-Searching and Anxiety After a Report Blames BBC." New York Times, 2 Feb. 2004. [http://www.nytimes.com]
A "devastating outside report" by senior judge Lord Hutton has found that BBC radio reporter Andrew Gilligan "erred by saying last May 29 that the government had inserted information it 'probably knew' was incorrect in an intelligence dossier published in September 2002, to bolster its case for war against Iraq. The BBC itself, the report said, compounded the error by defending the broadcast without properly investigating it." Lord Hutton's report "also exonerated the government, both in its preparation of the dossier and in the death of David Kelly, a government weapons specialist who killed himself last July when he was revealed as the source of Mr. Gilligan's broadcast."

Lynch, Grayston L. Decision for Disaster: Betrayal at the Bay of Pigs. Washington, DC, Brassey's, 1998.
Goulden, Intelligencer 10.2, notes that the author "was one of two CIA officers ashore" with the Cuban brigade, and he writes of the Bay of Pigs events with a "cold fury."
Paschall, MHQ Review, Autumn 1998, is positive about Lynch's telling of the Bay of Pigs operational story: "The book grabs and retains the reader's attention with fast-paced action, convincing tactical commentary, tales of bravery, a few accounts of cowardice, and the story of a brutal, tragic end to the enterprise." However, the second half of the book, with its attacks on President Kennedy and refutations of other writers' works on the operation, "becomes overblown.... Grayston Lynch should have stopped while he was ahead."
Jonkers, AIJ 18.1&2, notes rather gently that "no field operative can ever know all the elements upon which top command decisions are based." Nevertheless, "[f]or clandestine operations history buffs, [this is] an action-packed story by a field operative."
