Yeah, but if you are positing a really nefarious high-level government
conspiracy, you'd expect it to be cleverly done - not an easy kill, but
a cleverly concocted simulation of a suicide. One shouldn't underestimate
the cleverness of those government spys when it comes to evading detection.
After all, look at Watergate or Contragate. Hmmm. On second thought, never
mind. The average government conspiracy is about as subtle as elephant poop
in a wine glass.
Ah ... but maybe that's what they *want* us to think....

resp:13 - he'd apparently taken some pretty potent painkillers beforehand.

Yes, he was drugged.

I just don't see that anything he had done or not done would drive a person
to suicide. I would suspect some other event in his life to be the root
cause. Suppose he did leak information contradicting the government's claims.
A significant fraction of the citizenry would applaud that. He might lose
his job (giving the government a further black eye), but he would get job
offers on the basis of his action. How could any outcome alone be a strong
motivation for suicide? Of course, he may have been mentally ill in some
fashion, which could tip the scales.

Yep. He was silenced. Its all part of the cover-up. You see, he was
actually killed on account of what he actually knew about the
Inslaw/Promis affair. What? You don't know about that one? THEY are
doing an excellent job of covering that one up.

But...what stress? There was no need for him to feel any stress, as far
as the information published indicates. Was he being threatened with
anything? Nothing published indicates that.

You mean, the Foreign Affairs Committee tortured him? I didn't read about
that. Otherwise, what is a "rough grilling"? You mean he committed suicide
because a committee asked him some questions? All he had to do was answer
their questions truthfully. Seems to me he could only *gain* credibility
as a whistle-blower. There had to be something else..."chercher la femme".

That seems pretty far fetched. Do people get into a funk any more because
their family might be embarrassed? I thought that went out with horse
carriages.

It does seem pretty common for people to get caught doing something career
ending, and commit suicide.

Re 24/26. I meant general stress and embarrassment, not necessarily suicide.

I think it's far more likely that this was a suicide than some kind of
government conspiracy. Especially since his death has only brought more
attention.

I think the inquiry has more to do with finding out whether pressure from Dr.
Kelly's superiors at the MoD caused him to commit suicide, rather than a
conspiracy as such. British people are much more likely to believe in
governmental incompetence than in conspiracies.
