Lonely Death of Man Who Found Saddam’s Anthrax (David Kelly)

Times of London ^ | July 19, 2003

Ping. Dead microbiologist. Porton Down. Anthrax. Lots o' goodies here.

[Shermy]

In 1988, while Dr Kelly was working at Porton Down, Iraq tried unsuccessfully to obtain a weapons-grade strain of anthrax from the laboratory. At about the same time, Saddam did manage to get some anthrax from the United States.

Sounds a little too pat for me. A little too perfect deflection that UK was not involved, indirectly at least???

A police source ruled out hanging, an overdose, a gunshot wound or natural causes in his death.

How about what a coroner's source has to say? That's a pretty strange combo of ruled-out possibilities.

A police source ruled out hanging, an overdose, a gunshot wound or natural causes in his death.

Well, exactly what does this leave? Did he vaporise?

[Shermy]

From recent events, I thought this guy knew something about uranium. If he didn't, and is linked to the "sexing up" of the uranimum claims, he might be feeling very guilty when his irrelevance on nuclear matters was exposed.

From web:

Iraq Purchased Anthrax From US Company: Baghdad Admitted 'Weaponizing' The Biological Agent, A UN Inspector Says

"...Kelly said he did not believe the strain tentatively identified in the Florida, New York and Washington cases was among the eight Iraq purchased.

"But you have to remember that this is what Iraq admitted to obtaining," said Kelly. "It is quite possible that they bought anthrax from any number of other sources." ..."

This is a very confusing story. Did the guy off himself, or have an outside induced heart attack, or........What a bunch of nonsense.

Slashed wrists or neck?

Ping.

The war is heating up, it would seem.

[aristeides]

"Prat and a fall guy." Like Hatfill?

[nothingnew]

Well, exactly what does this leave? Did he vaporise?

No...He fell asleep on RR tracks where he was run over by a train cutting his head off, which was found in a dumpster, a dog ate his head, which was found in another dumpster, and his body was moved to a park, where he shot himself in the back of the head, which was found in another dumpster......Got it?

"This is a very confusing story"

I am happy to see I am not the only one confused about this. :-)

During the exchange betweek Kelly and his questioners, at the time this graphic was taken, he was joking with them and broke into smiles several times. He appeared not to be depressed or beaten down by the process.

A police source ruled out hanging, an overdose, a gunshot wound or natural causes in his death.

So no one is ruling out the possibility that he set himself on fire and burned to death while jumping off a cliff after swallowing glass?

[mdittmar]

I imagine it happened like this.

Reporter:How did he die.

Cop:we can't give out that information.

Reporter:Wait,wait,was it hanging, an overdose, a gunshot wound, natural causes...

Cop:we can't give out that information.
