I'd guess MI6 actually took quite a shine to Blair/Campbell, and we're literally paying for it :evil:

Documents from MI6 officers also reveal the turmoil within the secret intelligence service (SIS) as the then prime minister put pressure on to justify his claim that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction programme posed a serious threat. MI6 was "too eager" to please.

Campbell in particular has denied "sexing up" the Blair government's weapons dossier drawn up in September 2002, six months before the invasion of Iraq.

The report was sexed up but Campbell was not happy with it unless it was sexed up so while technically he might not be responsible he gave MI6 no choice. They should have had the courage to say no. The heads of MI6 are as culpable as anyone in the scandal.
