"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."

Oh, yes, very good, EXCELLENT point, esp. the last bit. Throw in a quote like "not the world he wanted to live in" and you've got it made. I am NOT AT ALL getting why ANYONE would want to commit MURDER (hm, um, Nero Wolf voice- dub it yourself) or SUICIDE (extra thick Tom Lantos voice)over any of this BBC flap stuff.

I mean, do we now expect George Tenant to kill himself? Were people killed over Watergate? I mean, wasn't that what was weird about Vince Foster, who I seem to remember actually had some history of mental instability? Is Bush going to have that New Guy at the NYTimes "taken out"?

I feel like Alice down the Rabbit Hole with this stuff. I don't think it's just me, since so many people are posting that they are confused, yet the chatterers in the media chatter on, like this is Laci Peterson, or even Nicole Simpson, and OF COURSE the (ex)Hubby did it, even if he beats the rap in the end. I mean, those stories I can comprehend. But this one is really a quagmire!

The only way that suicide fits for me---so far----is he was caught telling a journalist blatant lies about the state of British intelligence. Would that be treason? IF that is what he did, maybe he was anti-war--who knows--,perhaps suicide over what he feared would be a trial or other public exposure.

Now, it was said the MPs believed him when he said he was not the sole source, but perhaps after the hearing he felt he had been caught out?
