Nearly missed this. Many thanks to Matthew Norman for naming names on 11/5/04.
" Meanwhile, which of the pro-war pundits will go longest without the hint of a mea culpa? Yesterday, the Mirror's Tony Parsons had the grace to admit dropping an orchestra, to borrow a racetrack term, while Boris 'The Jackal' Johnson came close when forced to adopt the hilarious Barbara Amiel line that at least when we torture people, we can debate it openly. Barbara isn't about to hold her hands up (and with all those cuffs about, can you blame her?), and nor is the Mail's Mad Mel Phillips, Mystic Mogg of the Times, Crazy Janet Daley of the Telegraph, our own David Aaronovitch [even he's starting to back pedal - see below]and several others. Champagne for any still explaining why it all makes sense come June 30. "
