It was never suicide, says Dr Kelly's cousin as family finally breaks silence
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1303674/Dr-David-Kellys-cousin-claims-did-commit-suicide.html?ITO=1490

A close relative of Dr David Kelly broke the family's silence yesterday to voice fears that he was murdered.

Wendy Wearmouth said she found it 'incredibly unlikely' that he committed suicide and suggested he was assassinated.

She said that committing suicide would have been 'totally against his whole way of being'.

The 62-year-old spoke out as Dr Kelly's death was further shrouded in mystery - when one doctor claimed to have read the post-mortem report despite it having been kept classified after the weapons inspector's death.

Miss Wearmouth is Dr Kelly's first cousin and the only member of his family to speak publicly since renewed speculation about the circumstances his death.

1. Wasn't any talk of this considered tinfoil at one time? Gee,
I wonder what would be revealed if someone really took another look at 9/11 and the Antrax Attacks.

2. Hold on, I thought all conspiracy theories are nonsense!
You mean there might actually have been a conspiracy that led to the killing of this man for political reasons?

Damn, so there really are conspiracy theories that may turn out to be true...

3. But, but, but...Conspiracy theories are just insane! There's NO EVIDENCE!
And anyone who conjures up a conspiracy theory, or worse, believes in one, is batshit insane crazy.

Until they aren't.

12. Fitzgerald may very well have done that - Judy was at the intersection of 3 DOJ investigations
Edited on Tue Aug-17-10 12:50 PM by leveymg
1) The Plame outing, 2) the OSP-AIPAC espionage case, and 3) the CIA-FBI investigation into phony Iraq WMD intel. Her conversations with Fitz should have been long and wide-ranging. If they weren't, this country is in deep, dark trouble.

Dr. Kelly was a UK citizen who died on British soil, so Fitz's jurisdiction may not have extended to that, unless there was evidence of American involvement - ????

15. There was a 4th case as well.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/01/AR2006080101207.html

The New York Times may not withhold reporters' phone records from a federal grand jury investigating an alleged leak of a pending government raid on two Islamic charities suspected of supporting terrorism, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday.

A three-judge panel of the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled 2 to 1 that the Times has no First Amendment or other legal right to refuse a demand for the records from the grand jury in Chicago, which was empaneled by U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald.

The government's interest in rooting out a possible crime outweighs the newspaper's interest in protecting reporters' sources, the court concluded.

"The government has a compelling interest in maintaining the secrecy of imminent asset freezes or searches lest the targets be informed and spirit away those assets or incriminating evidence," Judge Ralph K. Winter Jr. wrote. "At stake in the present investigation, therefore, is not only the important principle of secrecy regarding imminent law enforcement actions but also a set of facts -- informing the targets of those impending actions -- that may constitute a serious obstruction of justice."

(snip)

In December 2001, Times reporters Miller and Philip Shenon learned of a pending government move to freeze the two groups' assets. They called the charities for comment shortly before FBI agents raided their offices.

December 3-14, 2001: Bush Administration Officials Tip Off Reporters About Raids on Suspect Charities
Edit event

On December 3, 2001, New York Times reporter Judith Miller telephones officials with the Holy Land Foundation charity in Texas and asks them to comment about what she says is a government raid on the charity planned for the next day. Then in a December 4, 2001, New York Times article, Miller writes that President Bush is about to announce that the US is freezing the assets of Holy Land and two other financial groups, all for supporting Hamas. US officials will later argue that Miller’s phone call and article “increased the likelihood that the foundation destroyed or hid records before a hastily organized raid by agents that day.” Later in the month, a similar incident occurs. On December 13, New York Times reporter Philip Shenon telephones officials at the Global Relief Foundation in Illinois and asks them to comment about an imminent government crackdown on that charity. The FBI learns that some Global Relief employees may be destroying documents. US attorney Patrick Fitzgerald had been investigating the charities. He had been wiretapping Global Relief and another charity in hopes of learning evidence of criminal activity, but after the leak he changes plans and carries out a hastily arranged raid on the charity the next day (see December 14, 2001). Fitzgerald later seeks records from the New York Times to find out who in the Bush administration leaked information about the upcoming raids to Miller and Shenon. However, in 2005 Fitzgerald will lose the case. It is still not known who leaked the information to the New York Times nor what their motives were. Ironically, Fitzgerald will succeed in forcing Miller to reveal information about her sources in another extremely similar legal case in 2005 involving the leaking of the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame. (New York Times, 12/4/2001; New York Times, 12/15/2001; Washington Post, 9/10/2004; Washington Post, 2/25/2005) The 9/11 Commission will later conclude that in addition to the above cases, “press leaks plagued almost every (raid on Muslim charities) that took place in the United States” after 9/11. (Washington Post, 9/10/2004)

6. The shit is flying in slow motion toward the fan.
There will be SO many questions to answer after this is ruled a homicide.

14. It was probably the same assassin who killed Vince Foster.
And we all know who that was.
