Decision due on Dr David Kelly inquest

Quote:
An inquest was opened into Dr Kelly's death in 2003 but was suspended by then Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer, who ruled that Lord Hutton's inquiry could take its place.

Lord Hutton's report in 2004 concluded that Dr Kelly had killed himself by cutting an artery in his wrist but the doctors argue there was insufficient evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt he killed himself.


I hope this gets the go-ahead as there are certainly a few questions that need answering.

Yes I have a few questions about it as well. Though the government were guilty of sexing up the reports to justify the invasion as we have subsequently found out and yet they persucuted him for revealing the truth. Personally the senior civil servants should be punished for their failures to protect him from the government. Maybe stripping them and the politicians of their gold plated government pensions would be a great start.

Once the politicians (Hoon and Campbell)had decided he was to be thrown to the wolves there was basically nothing the senior servants could realistically do to protect him, unless they wanted to resign in protest over the issue. Which unfortunately they didn't.

That was why I suggested that politicians lose their pensions as well. They all acted reprehensibly.

and then we get...

Dominic Grieve said the evidence he killed himself was "overwhelmingly strong" and he had seen nothing to support allegations he was murdered.


I'm not one of the tinfoil hat brigade, but that stinks.

Me too but I have my suspicions about his death, especially the threats from the civil service to strip him of his pension. Under the rules if he died before they stripped him of his pension his wife would be protected and still get his pension, but the alternative for his him and his wife was retiring into poverty. That is not an easy choice. So yes he may have committed suicide, but the knife was in the hands of the politicians.

Dr Kelly's wife is known in passing by my family.
She knows he didn't kill himself.
Problem is, the government are never going to admit that they paid the French off to do it for us.

It's frustrating enough for the public how things just don't add up, I can't imagine how the family must feel.

While they're at it, I doubt we'll see a proper investigation into the 7/7 bombings. Specifically, the warning we received from Israel before the event and which resulted in Scotland Yard warning the former PM Benjamin Netanyahuto to stay in his hotel rather than attending his scheduled meeting near the site of one of the bombings at Liverpool Tube Station clicky.

We know very little, I'm not sure we ever will.

Or the Lockerbie bombings. It's no wonder they released megrahi.
