Poll question: The Death of David Kelly
The Hutton Report has been released. Has he laid to rest the matter of Dr Kelly's death?

1. I will never believe it was suicide,
and I'm very disheartened by the official cover-the-government's-ass whitewashing of that bullshit "report." I've been extremely disappointed in Blair through this whole Iraq business as well.

2. Blair, the fake liberal has blood on his hands
If not him, his "handlers".

3. Tin Foil alert, Tin Foil alert....WARNING.
I've seen no evidence to suggest this was anything other than a suicide.

4. If you are a micro-biologist working in bio-warfare related area
murder is a professional risk IMO.
I don't believe Dr. Kelly killed himself at all.

5. Wet operations are a fact, not fantasy.
If assassination is a tool of statecraft, then of course Kelly's death is highly suspicious. If you believe covert government agencies stop short of murder, then I suppose it's not. Which assumption is more likely?

From The Guardian letter by doctors David Halpin, C Stephen Frost and
Searle Sennett:

"The ambulance team reported that the quantity of blood at the scene was minimal and surprisingly small. It is extremely difficult to lose significant amounts of blood at a pressure below 50-60 systolic in a subject who is compensating by vasoconstricting. To have died from haemorrhage, Dr Kelly would have had to lose about five pints of blood - it is unlikely that he wold have lost more than a pint. Alexander Allan, the forensic toxicologist at the inquiry, considered the amount ingested of Co-Proxamol insufficient to have caused death. Allan could not show that Dr. Kelly had ingested the 29 tablets said to be missing from the packets found. Only a fifth of one tablet was found in his stomach. Although levels of Co-Proxamol in the blood were higher than theraputic levels, Allan conceded that the blood level of each of the drug's two components was less than a third of what would normal be found in a fatal overdose."

From "THE NEW ALCHEMY: TURNING MURDER INTO SUICIDE" by Rowena Thursby:

Hunt next attempts to explain away a number of bruises on Kelly's body:

"There was a bruise below the left knee. There were two bruises below the right knee over the shin and there were two bruises over the left side of his chest. All of these were small..."

When asked how they could have occurred Hunt states:

"They would have occurred following a blunt impact against any firm object and it would not have to a particularly heavy impact....some of them may have been caused as Dr Kelly was stumbling, if you like, at the scene."

First we have Kelly banging his head on the odd stone that happened to be lying on the floor of the wood, and now Hunt now tries to seduce us into imagining Kelly "stumbling at the scene". Why should Kelly have been stumbling at the scene? If the official scenario is to be believed, here was a man, calmly looking for a place in the wood where he could end his life. According to Keith Hawton, the psychiatrist, having made the decision to commit suicide, Kelly would have felt a sense of peace and calm. So why now are we being asked to accept as consistent the notion that he was "stumbling" around the wood?

6. A state news agency investigated by the state for the state
Nothing fishy, there, nope.
