Blair still haunted by Kelly suicide fallout
A year after the death of government weapons scientist David Kelly and two Iraq inquiries later, British Prime Minister Tony Blair is struggling to convince the public that his decision to oust Saddam Hussein by military means was right.

British arms expert Kelly slashed his wrists and bled to death during the night of July 17 2003 after his employer, the Ministry of Defence, identified him as the source of a BBC report that accused the government of deliberately exaggerating the threat of Iraqi weapons ahead of the United States-led invasion.

The fallout for Blair from Kelly's suicide has been immense.

Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by two judicial inquiries, one into the death of Kelly and on Wednesday of failings over the unreliable nature of Britain's pre-war intelligence on Iraq, the prime minister remains under attack from voters over his decision to go to war.

Suicide. Everyone knows Kelly was murdered either by Cheney/Bush's or Blair's orders!

2. I hope Mr. Kelly is haunting him.
Tony doesn't deserve a single night's sleep.

3. Yeah, that's what happens when you murder someone to cover something up
that everyone already knows anyway.
