Thread Name: BS: Iraq War Lies
Subject: Man Who Exposed Iraq Lies Found Dead
The weapons expert blamed for telling the British media about Bush & Blair's Iraq weapons lies has been found dead.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3076801.stm

Dr Kelly caused acute embarassment to both the British and American governments when he allegedly leaked details of their lies to a reporter.

Dr Kelly denied being the BBC's main source for a story claiming Downing Street had "sexed up" a dossier about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction.

Police say he is an avid walker and has good local knowledge of the many footpaths surrounding his home.

According to his family it was very unusual for Dr Kelly to walk alone in the area where his body was found. Even more strange is the fact that he was out in bad weather without a coat.

Number 10 says "normal personal procedures" were followed after Dr Kelly volunteered that he might have been the source.

There were five days between his admission about talking to Mr Gilligan and the MoD's statement about the possible source, said the spokesman.

The Commons foreign affairs select committee said Dr Kelly, who has worked as a weapons inspector in Iraq, had been "poorly treated" by the government.

Committee chairman Donald Anderson said of Dr Kelly that ""He came across as someone rather relaxed before the committee."

"He seemed on top of it.


Let us look more closely at the most disturbing issues surrounding the death of this weapons expert:

1) Suicide could reasonably be ruled out: Committee chairman Donald Anderson said of Dr Kelly that ""He came across as someone rather relaxed before the committee." "He seemed on top of it.

2) Accident and Misadventure could reasonably be ruled out: Police say he is an avid walker and has good local knowledge of the many footpaths surrounding his home.

3) It was "very unusual" for Dr Kelly to walk alone in the area where his body was found.

4) The weather was atrocious - hardly ideal walking weather!

5) Considering the cold, the wind and the rain in the area, why would he venture out without a coat?

6) This suspicious death is just the tip of a very sinister iceberg, as we have seen (See Message 1 in this thread)
