He would be the best witness of all being as he was one of the inspectors who was closest to Dr Kelly. He gave two personal statements to TVP but neither have been released.<BR/><BR/>Is Rod still willing to discuss further with us?<BR/><BR/>Reading the <A HREF="http://www.oxfordmail.net/news/headlines/display.var.1017637.0.raking_it_up.php" REL="nofollow">local</A> news, it seems that there is high regard given to not upsetting Dr Kelly's family. I understand this, but on the other hand this approach may benefit the Government if there is other information being covered up.<BR/><BR/>Also a bit more from the local link above about the new Beeb series:<BR/><BR/><I>In January, the BBC is to broadcast a four-part series focusing on conspiracies, called Conspiracy Files, which will explore inconsistencies in official accounts .... During the four-part TV series, the BBC will also examine the death of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997; the Oklahoma Bombing of 1995 and the al Qaida attacks of 9/11.</I><BR/><BR/>(Have we done OKC here before? Did you know that McVeigh was one of Schwarzkopf's personal guards at Safwan where the Iraqi armistice was signed after GWI? He might therefore have overheard or known about ALL that went on during that war?)Andrew Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086821277372396981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1163542039966994372006-11-15T09:07:00.000+11:002006-11-15T09:07:00.000+11:00thnx simon. fp'd.i owe you email or two now that t...thnx simon. fp'd.<BR/><BR/>i owe you email or two now that the election is over.lukeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280906371216516750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1163538072154218292006-11-15T08:01:00.000+11:002006-11-15T08:01:00.000+11:00Here I am. Someone from the Beeb actually came to ...Here I am. Someone from the Beeb actually came to see me about this but he wasn't giving much away. Someone else had dropped my name to the corporation and they thought I was worth a visit. My angle is really just about the missing weapons, and I have been speculating that Dr Kelly might have had a personal viewpoint that may have been slightly different from his 'official' position that the weapons were still there somewhere in Iraq. No-one else from the British side of the inspections process has gone public about this, indeed the Hutton Inquiry failed to publish significant quantities of personal statements which were submitted to Thames Valley Police, who were the prime and original investigation agency.<BR/><BR/>I think the Beeb will follow up closely on what Member of Parliament Norman Baker has been saying. See his <A HREF="http://www.normanbaker.org.uk/kelly.htm" REL="nofollow">website</A>. He is more concerned about the actual manner of Dr Kelly's death, rather than the circumstances that surrounded it. His and <A HREF="http://dr-david-kelly.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Rowena's</A> approach is that if it wasn't suicide then it must have been murder. My own take is that there may be even more to it than this. <BR/><BR/>I have no proof or evidence to support the idea that Dr Kelly may even staged his own death to make it look like murder in an attempt to 'get back' at the Government and the MoD, but there, I've just suggested the notion. You might think that a brilliant bio-scientist might just have known of a better way to carry out such an act, even in an almost undetectable way, yet no-one has ever suggested that this may be a possible explanation. <BR/><BR/>My own take is that Dr Kelly had been forced to lie for the establishment. The bigger question is whether this was just to the Foreign Affairs Select Committee only two days before his death, or whether this went much much wider, basically in order to maintain the pressure on Saddam to reveal all and to make the case for war to remove him.<BR/><BR/>Somehow I think all we are going to get is rather more questions about the whole affair placed more firmly into the public arena. Real answers will be as elusive as they ever are.Andrew Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086821277372396981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5194776.post-1163494792538615502006-11-14T19:59:00.000+11:002006-11-14T19:59:00.000+11:00where's Simon? i lost his mail; i'd be interested ...where's Simon? i lost his mail; i'd be interested in learning his take on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
