    The email discusses the identity of an alleged mole who leaked information to the BBC regarding British government claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Several details are mentioned: Martha Carney identified the individual as a MOD consultant paid for by the FCO; some callers were close to identifying the right name; the Independent and Guardian believed it was an FCO official seconded to the MOD; and James Blitz said he knew it was a WMD consultant paid for by the FCO. The email claims this person was the BBC source and that heads should roll at the BBC for defending the story from someone so disconnected from the situation.
