Comments for Why I know weapons expert Dr David Kelly was murdered, by the MP who spent a year investigating his death »

Posted By dissent 8 months, 2 weeks ago in News

For Tony Blair it was a glorious day. He was in the United States being feted by the U.S. Congress and President Bush.

Their adulation was such that he was being offered the rare honour of a Congressional Gold Medal.

Naturally enough, Bush and his administration were hugely grateful for Blair's decision to join the United States in its invasion of Iraq.

That invasion was supposed to lead to the discovery and disposal of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and make the world a safer place.

But as Blair was lapping up the grateful plaudits from the U.S. Congress on July 17, 2003, the man who had done more than almost any other individual on earth to contain the threat from WMD lay dead in the woods at Harrowdown Hill in Oxfordshire.

For Dr David Kelly, the UK's leading weapons inspector, there was to be no adulation, no medal, no standing ovation.

......

British diplomat David Broucher told the Hutton inquiry that, some months before Dr Kelly's death, he had asked him what would happen if Iraq were invaded.

Rather chillingly, Dr Kelly replied that he "would probably be found dead in the woods".

    With all the cover-ups, I'm not surprised. Bush and Blair would do anything to justify their illegal war!!

      With Bush and Blair both deposed, whose illegal war is it now?

      many people wanted to get rid of kelly, but all of them wanted war with iraq. the idea that someone in iraq could have killed him is most unlikely.

      MI6 and the CIA are at the top of the list.

        Bliar is top of my list.
        The tragedy of Dr Kelly is truly appalling and along with the murder of the young Brazilian, Jean Charles de Menezes, on the London Underground by Special branch officers, ranks among the heinous crimes committed during the Blair Regime.
        Not such a personal tragedy, but one which seriously affected the freedom of the media, was the virtual disembowelling of the BBC, based on specious and bogus falsifications by Alastair Campbell, Bliar's "communications chief", which was tied in with the aforesaid murder of Dr Kelly.
        Though the BBC is still listenable it has lost its teeth and British culture has gone to hell during the last couple of decades.
