fwiw...which means it is worth nothing, except as an exercise in hmmm-ness...

there are reasons to think that Iraqis might want to shut up Dr. Kelly...especially those allied with the neo-con's puppet, Chalabi, since he was also the one feeding false information to Judith Miller, who was also an acquaintance, since the world of WMD scientists and reporters is not a huge group.

Kelly went outside of the circle when he talked to the BBC, outside of the control of the information available.

Since Chalabi has since gone on record as noting that, yeah, maybe the war was based on lies but he doesn't care cause he wanted Saddam gone and he made an alliance with the neo-cons who also wanted Saddam gone, and none of them had to shed a drop of blood to do so, because they could use the American military like a private army to invade another country based upon lies and an agenda which has nothing to do with those stated by the neo-cons.

And if someone wanted to spread disinformation to take the heat off the real culprits, who better to blame than the freedom fryers?

all that said, I do not know if Kelly was murdered or not.

I do think it's interesting, though, that a right-winger is floating the idea..

of course, maybe the reason is simply to discredit Blair, who, though he's Bush's poodle, he's still not one of their own, ala Maggie Hatchet Thatcher.
