I forgot about David Kelly. However I was referring more to this idea
> It was presumably clear to those in MI6 that Blair had already decided to go to war, so what would have been in it for them to try and persuade him otherwise? Probably an early retirement at best.
Which was replied to with a comment about ending up in an early grave. David Kelly, even if you believe he was killed by the government, was not killed because he tried to convince the Prime Minister not to go to war. His untimely demise came from pressure related to him leaking confidential information to the press. In my opinion those are two different things and I intended to address the former not the latter.
Also, to be clear. I think David Kelly was right and what he went through was incredibly fucked up.
