David Kelly

[DodgyAgent]

My theory is that following the DNA test of the blanket covering the hidden cache of weapons of massed destruction David'Kelly's sperm matched that of AndyW. This is why he committed suicide (as anyone would do in similar circumstances) and why the blanket has been locked away for a minimum term of 70 years in "soiltary" confinement.

Now I’m not really given to believing in conspiracy theories,

Slashing one's wrists and bleeding to death without spilling any blood suggests foul play.

Having five doctors publicly complain that the cause of death was implausible is also tad unusual.

Some Lib Dem MP took a year out to investigate this. He concluded Kelly was murdered by anti-Saddam Iraqis over here who feared Kelly's revelations would derail the start of war. The security services just cleaned up best they could.

Why would the UK Government want to keep that secret for 70 years?

Nothing against the Yanks in general, quite the reverse; but I reckon Kelly's death has "Septic" painted all over it.

Good point. Why? Because they were told to.

Yep. Pretty suspicious, and what are we to believe from HM Government? Saddam could destroy us all in 45 minutes with his imaginary nuclear weapons, that de Menezes chap was shot because he walked into the station in a suspicious fashion while carrying a suspicious newspaper and the police first tried claiming 'he was a terrorist really guv', and David Kelly was found dead in some woodland with slashed wrists and no blood after blowing a big hole in the government’s case for war. We’ve seen people arrested under terrorism laws for shouting ‘nonsense’ at the foreign secretary and others arrested for wearing ‘bollocks to Blair’ t-shirts. Tourists are being arrested for taking photographs and we are told this is all in the name of our security. People have been kidnapped, or sorry, ‘extraordinary renditioned’ and taken off to far off countries to be ‘waterboarded’, which Mr Bush says ‘is not torture’. This is the trouble; we have been lied to so much that we can’t believe a damned thing the government tell us. Add to that our civil liberties have been destroyed in the name of our ‘security’.

Congratulations, Mr Bin Laden. You took on a culture of democracy, western liberal values, civil liberties, human rights and the rule of law and you’ve won. Can you stop now please?

Maybe because the Security Service personnel who covered up the crime, and their superiors, would face prison?

Maybe the CIA 'encouraged' the anti-Saddamists to take action against Kelly? But this seems a bit far-fetched to me.

At any rate, I've been waiting for this:

If the Govt have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear

Bin Laden didn't win.

Bush saw a chance for Daddy's approval and personal glory and got it.

The Nu Liebore twats were too young, too inexperienced and too frightened to do something brave. So they have been tulipting themselves ever since. If we had MPs aged 60+ who remember what a war was like running the cabinet instead of graduates with no work experience, they would not have panicked themselves into this stupid 1984 position.

Remember, most of the rest of the world chose not to fall for it.

Column in the Guardian today by Brian Gould says it was to assure Tony Blair of his place in history.

We invaded a foreign country to assure Tony Blair of his place in history. The irony is that it will not be the one he had imagined.

.. Bush saw a chance for Daddy's approval and personal glory and got it. ..

More to the point, in an unbelievably stupid and provocative move, Saddam switched from trading oil in dollars to Euros.

If he hadn't done that, he'd undoubtedly be in power to this day and the invasion would never have happened.
