Kelly's Suicide [1]
Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
British Prime Minister Tony Blair is under pressure following the apparent suicide of Iraq weapons expert David Kelly [3]. An intensely private individual, Kelly came under public scrutiny and was grilled by the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament [4] to see if he might be the whistleblower alleged to have told BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan [5] that Blair's government had "sexed up" its September dossier on Iraqi weapons. A judicial inquiry [3] into Kelly's death is expected.
