This was dead? Do you know if it was auto-killed or flagged out?

  It looked like it had to be flagged out because at the time it already had 10+ votes. So an editor had to have killed it and another had to restore it. Weird. I can see why though, it is a purely political piece. Either that or I'm seeing things :)

    Even though the story's interesting, I think it should have been flagged - there's plenty of places to discuss it online, and there's no way not to Redditize this kind of conversation. Already there's a comment here claiming the Baha'i (??) may be behind this..

      > Already there's a comment here claiming the Baha'i (??) may be behind this.. You can file that one under 'it takes all kinds'... Also anybody that would know even the most cursory facts about the Bahá'í would realize that that is not a very likely explanation. I'm in the atheist camp and was quite surprised to see a scientist of Dr. Kelly's calibre associated with an obscure religion so I did some reading and I think I could see some of the motivations for his actions rooted in his faith. It's an interesting faith in the sense that it has worldwide following and was founded in recent times. The united nations actually figure quite prominently in the followers of this religion.
