Yeah - they sure shut the fuck up about that inquiry when David Kelly showed up dead in a field two days later didn't they. They called it a suicide and never brought it up again. Much like how the BBC has "covered" torture, collateral murder, and the likes which Assange and Snowden revealed - better than the tabloids, and not nearly good enough.

I’m sorry, but your facts are wrong. The inquiry was around the events leading up to David Kelly’s death, not the other way around . And re: whether he was murdered - pretty much everyone who knew David Kelly, including his wife, called it a suicide because there was absolutely no evidence that his death was anything but a suicide.

  I don't know who you're trying to fool, this thread was scrubbed from the front page. Anyway: He gave evidence to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee on the 15th and 16th of July, and was found dead on the 17th. ... > One of the witnesses who gave evidence to Hutton was David Broucher, the UK's permanent representative to the Conference on Disarmament. In 2002 or 2003 he had asked Kelly what would happen if Iraq were invaded; Kelly had replied "I will probably be found dead in the woods". Don't remember BBC making much of a deal of that quote. His wife was probably scared shitless and in no space to fight. And there were many who didn't find the official line credible including doctors, the former leader of the Conservative Party, and MP Norman Baker, among many others. Try checking your own facts before calling people wrong.

    Yes, lots of people don't find the official line about the Kennedy assassination or the 9/11 attacks or the MMR vaccine convincing but hey, I don't pay attention to them either. The idea that you know more about David Kelly's state of mind at the time than his own family is sort of galling.
