    No, whilst not killing dr Kelly himself, he certainly deliberately put him under pressure.

    http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2003/aug/05/hu...

    1-it was the MOD that exposed him

    2. the government then briefed journalist calling him a "fantasist".

    "insisted: "I know for a fact that I wasn't the only person who was sold this [Walter Mitty] line. It certainly was not a throwaway line." "Blair spokesman admits Kelly 'fantasist' claim !

    3. they then attacked him personally and professionally, they leaked his employment record (an illegal act) and the details of his disciplinary,

    http://www.theguardian.com/media/2003/aug/14/hutto...

    "Wells if it was unusual for a civil servant to be named as Dr Kelly was.

    "It probably is. But we are not dealing with usual circumstances," replied Dr Wells, "- yes, it is against CC guidelines.

    They put him under extreme pressure, telling him he couldn't discuss his side with the press and then leaked and basically put the knife in his hands !!

    Blair killed Dr Kelly.

    Oh right he slides off into the backwaters very soon afterwards

    dumps all the crap on to Gordon Brown who is a real gentleman.

    One bloody big big mistake and he knew what he was doing

    all very well for a millionaire in his ivory towers to say 'sorry' ?

    But then the whole scene was G W Bush one of 4 generations

    of corrupt deadly evil warmongers it was they who killed JFK !

    WAR is business to them the CIA the FBI and collusion with that

    vile murderous reptilian known as Benjamin Netanyahu the scum.

    They are all evil mass murderers they all worked together and now

    the middle east is in shreds they have set people at wars with each

    other while Blair has the gall and neck to suggest returning to office

    I reckon if he does someone will step from out of a crowd to stiff him.

    first of all there were WMD Saddam had them and used them on the Kurds,he then gave them to his friend Gadaffi in Libya,once the search for them started, that is why they were never found in IRAQ,Dr Kelly was definitely murdered,he was found out in the country,without a single drop of blood in his body,or any around his corpse,so how can someone drain all the blood from their body then walk a couple of miles to the point where he was found,think about it,

    No he didn't. He said that 'some mistakes had been made', not that the whole damn sorry mess was a mistake. Who was Dr. Kelly?

    Deliberate as far as I'm concerned.

    It was a mistake on his part. All he had to do was follow the script.

    No, he done it deliberately. He wanted to be America's B*tch.

    Kelly was a suicide. He was wracked with guilt at his being conned into joining Islam, as a Baha'i convert !
