The episode was used against the BBC, with Lord Hutton whitewashing the Blair governemnt and Alstair Campbell.
They got rid of a bothersome adversary, a man with a conscience.
See this post from the 'liquid bombs' scare last summer:

"Lord Hutton represented British soldiers at the Widgery Inquiry. It was in April 1972 that the former brigadier Lord Widgery published his now notorious report into the killing of 14 unarmed civil rights demonstrators by British paratroopers in Northern Ireland three months earlier, on what became known as “Bloody Sunday.” Lord Widgery cleared the soldiers of blame, insisting, in defiance of a mass of evidence, that they had only opened fire after coming under attack."
The Brits are not convinced, and I hope they investigate the Blair government and their secret service; a gang of bandits if I ever saw one.
From Daily Mail:
"The 'facts' about David Kelly's death just don't add up. This was murder...
(...)
Now, the highest-profile unexpected death in recent years has re-emerged with redoubled force as something far more sinister and sensational than the story we were originally told.
The apparent suicide of the weapons inspector Dr David Kelly in 2003 triggered a political firestorm, following his unmasking as the source of the BBC's claim that the Government had 'sexed up' the case for war in Iraq."
