Tony Blair's Vince Foster?

Died from normal 'radiation'......?

UR-anium?

.....'sickness'.......?

:-(

Hmmm.. That's a good, intriguing point. However, assuming the specialist had that sort of information, wouldn't the British authorities in charge of the search already be aware of that? In other words, what possible good could offing him do to someone trying to prevent the finding of WMDs when any info he may have of that sort would already be in circulation within the UK intelligence & defense circles?

If one must speculate, then it's infinitely more plausible he knew something to be false which the British government wishes not to have doubt cast upon...

I don't see anywhere that it rules out slashed wrists.

And if his wrists were slashed, and all his blood was making a stream towards the lower ground, I am thinking that might be a way to rule out natural causes (although there was an episode of "Millennium" called "Powers, Principalities, Thrones and Dominions" where a guy slashed his own neck, but it turned out that he really died of a heart attack, but that was TV).

[wingnuts'nbolts]

His wife said he was very upset by what happened with the committee but that he was very angry. Not depressed and angry men may kill someone else but they do not commit suicide! Arkancide in the UK, shut him up good!

[virgil]

Didn't we have a weapons scientist found dead in his car a while back? It was kind of mysterious.

[Henk]

Arkancide

[Mike4Freedom]

"Arkancide" in the UK?!

Maybe. I always thought that Tony Blair was cut from the same cloth as Bill Clinton. His lap dog following of Bush has not changed that opinion.

[Shermy]

Since he's a microbiologist "Memphicide" might be appropriate too.

Sure a strange story, whatever happened.

[Calpernia]

Ping

[maestro]

ARK-and-cide?

Ur-anium.....rays?

:-(

Auto.........'Hit-n-run'??

[AntiGuv]

There have been several bioweapons scientists dead under mysterious circumstances over the past year or two. I'll see if I can track down an article (I vaguely remember one in Toronto's Globe & Mail).

I think you're thinking of the Russian who formerly worked in the Biopreparat bioweapons research during the Soviet era who was murdered in Britain not too long ago.

[aristeides]

Well, Dr. Wiley's strange death didn't occur too far from Arkansas. It was on the bridge between Memphis and Arkansas, wasn't it?

[AntiGuv]

Oh, wait. That's right. You're thinking of the Harvard [?] doctor found dead downstream of Memphis (his car was left on a bridge).

[Cicero]

Well, we may never learn what happened, but this begins to sound more like suicide to me. The guy probably was some kind of liberal idealist who leaked to the BBC. It sounds as if he blamed somebody by name for lying about the Uranium story and then tried to fudge what he said at the hearing.

Sometimes really bright guys like this are politically stupid. I'll bet he told the BBC reporter a few things "off the record" and then was surprised when they appeared in print, no doubt together with a few assorted lies and similar goodies the reporter made up.

The article says he was mad at the committee for saying that he was a patsy. Problem is, he was a patsy. He thought he was saving the world and instead he played the fool.

[virgil]

I think thats the one. They kept mentioning his car and the east coast ( the Harvard connection). My memory is failing. Thanks.

[Mike4Freedom]

sorry, wrong Arkancide.

It is taking too long to divulge the whole story. It cannot be all that complicated. That suggests that they are trying to work out a believable cover story and make sure that there is not absolute contradictory evidence around.

[Republican Red]

I'll bet this turns out to be suicide.

Television journalist Tom Mangold said he had spoken to Kelly's wife, Janice, on Friday morning, and she said her husband had felt stressed after appearing before the parliamentary committee to face questions about the BBC report.

"She didn't use the word depressed, but she said he was very, very stressed and unhappy about what had happened and this was really not the kind of world he wanted to live in," Mangold told ITV news.

[Mike4Freedom]

I'll bet this turns out to be suicide.

Well, of course. That is always the best cover. It happens often enough to be believable and you don't have to make believe you are investigating a murder.
