Remember the strange “suicide” of Dr. David Kelly, the top scientist who was thrust into the media glare (in England) over the “sexed up” WMD report which provided the excuse for Britain to join US in the Iraq mis-adventure? Four years later former MP Norman Baker discredits the “Official Story” and presents his own research and conclusions.
Why I know weapons expert Dr David Kelly was murdered, by the MP who spent a year investigating his deathLast updated 20th October 2007
[…] [Dr. Kelly] had been thrust into the harsh glare of publicity, accused of being the mole who expressed to the BBC deep concerns about the Government's "sexing up" of its dossier on weapons of mass destruction.
To add fuel to the flames, [Blair’s] director of communications, Alastair Campbell, had launched an unprecedented and vitriolic attack on the BBC, questioning its integrity and professionalism in the way it reported the story.
That, at least, was the official version of events, as decided by the [Lord] Hutton inquiry, set up by the Government with lightning speed within hours of Dr Kelly's body being found.
[…] Increasingly concerned, I decided to give up my post on the Liberal Democrat front bench to look into Dr Kelly's death.
My investigations have since convinced me that it is nigh- on clinically impossible for Dr Kelly to have died by his own hand and that both his personality and the other circumstantial evidence strongly militate against suicide.
[…] Diplomat David Broucher told the Hutton inquiry that he interpreted Dr Kelly's remark about being found "dead in the woods" to mean that "he was at risk of being attacked by the Iraqis in some way".
[…] Naturally, those like Dr Kelly who, by sticking to the facts, weakened the case for invasion beforehand and discredited those who had exaggerated it afterwards, were unhelpful to [Ahmed] Chalabi and his colleagues. The last thing they wanted was the sober truth to prevail.
[…] In the case of [Iyad] Allawi's group, it was reports passed to MI6 in the spring and summer of 2002, including the false claim that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction which he could deploy at 45 minutes' notice.
This now infamous "45-minute claim" fed through to the dossier of intelligence which was used as the justification for our involvement in the invasion of Iraq.
It was this dossier, and the 45-minute claim in particular, that David Kelly challenged in his crucial interview with the BBC.
By doing so, did he sign his own death warrant?
