Several news sources report that John Scarlett, ex-Chairman of the joint intelligence committee, who oversaw one of the biggest screwups ever by British intelligence will be rewarded for his work with a Knighthood.
Just to remind readers, the highlight of Scarlett's charimanship was the production of the infamous "dodgy dossier" that claimed that Saddam Hussein could deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes.
Instances such as this where complete failure is rewarded are mind-boggling because all they do is devalue the prestige associated with the award.
So you never know, if our Cricket team can keep a steady nerve and avoid winning the 5th test match in Australia they may yet be rewarded for their performances down under :D
