I agree but I would say that this is already happening. Blair always had a 
large measure of calcuation under his sycophancy. The latest press reports 
are clearly coordinated by Campbell, including the astonishing "megaphone" 
criticism by the EU's commissioner for foreign affairs (if I have despite 
haste got the title right) - Chris Patten.

And the highly authoritative report given to the Observer. A "source close 
to the Prime Minister" means the Prime Minister!
