See my link to the testimony Kelly gave posted at #218. Gilligan is not the only reporter Kelly secretly met with.

I think Kelly was a misguided fool who may have meant well in his own fashion, but Blair was the victim of his foolishness. I still am so angry that Tony Blair was asked if he had Kelly's blood on his hands. Outrageous.

True, Gilligan was not the only reporter Kelly talked to. But Gilligan is the reporter whose quotes were inconsistant with what Kelly had told others. IOW, Gilligan faked the accusations against Straw and attributed them to his source. He also exaggerated the status of his source. The BBC backed Gilligan up and worse, tried unsuccessfully to persuade the other reporter - Susan Watts - to change her story and back Gilligan up.
