Found Body Matches Missing UK Scientist -Police
LONDON (Reuters) - Police said the body of a man found earlier on Friday matched the description of Dr David Kelly, a former U.N. weapons inspector who became dragged into a political row over Britain's case for war against Iraq (news - web sites).
"We can confirm that the body matches the description of Dr Kelly. The body has not been formally identified," a police spokeswoman said.
Police announced they had found the body on Friday morning. Kelly went missing overnight after telling his family on Thursday he was going out for a walk.
The mild-mannered 59-year-old scientist was dragged into the political row over the case for war after the government said it thought he was the source for a BBC report that accused officials of hyping intelligence.
Kelly denied telling the broadcaster that officials had ordered dubious allegations about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to be included in a government dossier. (Reporting by Peter Graff; editing by Steve Addison; Reuters Messaging Peter.Graff.Reuters.com@Reuters.net))

Bush had one of his goon squads bump him off.
Then he hid Jimmy Hoffa's body from Geraldo.

Enemies, foreign and domestic, are fair game.

Kelly denied telling the broadcaster that officials had ordered dubious allegations about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to be included in a government dossier. Given that he denied that officials ordered dubious allegations one would think that there would only be ONE group of suspects in any foul play.

Kelly knew too much and so he went for a walk in Ft. Marcy Park.
