FIRST KELLY INQUIRY WITNESS ATTACKS No 10 SMEARS
THE first witness at today's David Kelly inquiry said the weapons expert was tough and cool under pressure - smashing Downing Street's "Walter Mitty" smear.

Testimony to Dr Kelly's character came from former army colonel Terry Taylor, a director of the International Institute of Strategic Studies in America.

Both worked in Iraq, where Dr Kelly was a United Nations inspector and a key to uncovering biological weapons.

1. How Convenient it is
to assassinate a man's character to cover the crimes of cowards!

2. this statement is telling
Speaking ahead of the hearings yesterday Mr Taylor said the apparent suicide was "way out of character for a man I had seen cope with extreme pressures so well".

He added: "During my 15 years of friendship, and 10 years in the most difficult and trying circumstances together battling the Iraqis, I have always admired him for his coolness and his measured approach.

"He certainly didn't flap under pressure, he was a model of how to conduct yourself in tense situations."

...this same man had talked to Kelly about his daughter's upcoming wedding, and a visit...

Kelly's death certainly looks like the work of the Bush junta, but will what happened or not ever be known?
