The head of the Iraq war inquiry last night cleared the way for a full inquest into the death of weapons inspector Dr David Kelly.

Sir John Chilcot said the Government scientist's apparent suicide in July 2003 was 'not a matter' for his five-man panel to investigate.

But he invited campaigners who believe Dr Kelly was murdered to formally request that Attorney General Dominic Grieve orders an inquest.

Sir John's spokesman said: 'The inquiry has no statutory powers, and the committee is not appropriately qualified to decide on medical matters.

'The committee's conclusion is, therefore, that the proper route would be an application to the Attorney General.'

...

Despite pressure from medical experts, the Iraq Inquiry into the run-up and aftermath of the war has decided not to investigate Dr Kelly's death.

Sir John's spokesman said: 'The committee has reached the concluded view that the death of Dr Kelly is not a matter it should consider.

Probably more like two degrees -- or maybe even just one.

3. Thanks for posting...

...I hope someone does press for an investigation. It would be fitting if such an investigation unraveled the games of the "dark players" that Dr. Kelly himself referred to shortly before his death.

4. The Big Buck that is being passed stops where?

Blair still running around loose 'saving the Middle East'...

Bush Jr still running around loose 'saving Haiti'...

:mad: :puke:

Cheney still running around loose doing God knows what...

Rumsfeld still running around loose God knows where, doing God knows what...

They are TOO POWERFUL TO PROSECUTE or even to investigate, so who's going to sacrifice their pleasant lifestyle, if not their pleasant life itself, to put these murderers where they belong, in lifetime servitude as bedpan emptiers in Veterans' hospitals, with electronic zappers around their ankles?

They made their point with Kelly. They can and will off ANYBODY.

There will be NO official inquiry of any kind by anybody on this matter (that isn't another whitewash). Remember what President Obama said? We "need to look forward not backward." He, too, values his life. Can't blame him really--except, what with Harvard Law School and all, I expected a better line than that. (Do prosecutors investigate future crimes?)
