Government weapons scientist David Kelly feared he might "end up dead in the woods" if a U.S.-led coalition attacked Iraq, a colleague testified Thursday at a judicial inquiry into his suicide.

Kelly, identified as the source of a British Broadcasting Corp. report that questioned the integrity of the government's case for war, was found dead July 18 at the edge of a clump of woods near his rural home.

If you post it, they will come.

So are we to assume that the Iraqis were afraid we'd learn they had little to no wmd's and therefore exposing this would make us more likely to invade them? That's a twist that seems highly improbable.

"His reply was, which at the time I took to be a throwaway remark, he said, `I will probably be found dead in the woods."

Self-fulfilling prophecy.

They can say anything they choose about someone once he's dead, can't they?

"I'll be found dead in the woods"...Very true. I didn't think of that way. Who is going to dispute that statement?

Mole, you are too funny.
