LONGWORTH, England — A British scientist was found dead in the woods yesterday after being unwittingly dragged into a fierce political dispute about intelligence used to justify war on Iraq.

British police said they had found a body believed to be that of soft-spoken Defense Ministry biologist David Kelly, a former U.N. weapons inspector who had been questioned in Parliament about charges that the government inflated intelligence data to justify war.

Thank you very much!
Thank you very much!
That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me.
It isn't every day
good fortune comes me way!
I never thought the future would be fun for me!
And if I had a bugle
I would blow it to add a sort
o' how's your father's touch.
But since I left me bugle at home
I simply have to say
Thank you very, very, very much!
Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you for your donation!

So, if I understand this all;

This guy made up a charge that Blair created false information in regards to Iraq. Now that the BBC is on the hot seat due to his lying, he commited suicide.

How exactly does this play badly on Blair and co?

It seems to me this essentially proves the BBC had no *reliable* evidence to make their absurd claims on...this also seems the sort of issue and tack the US media claim to be interested in, no?
