Call Me a Conspiracist


Last week we had the "accidental" death of one of Private Jessica Lynch's rescuers. Now we wake up this morning to the murder of a British WMD inspector:
WMD scientist's death rocks British government By Gideon Long

LONGWORTH, England, July 18 — A mild-mannered British scientist was found dead in the woods on Friday after being unwittingly dragged into a fierce political dispute about intelligence used to justify war on Iraq.

British police said they had found a body matching that of soft-spoken defence ministry biologist David Kelly, a former U.N. weapons inspector, who had been grilled in parliament over allegations the government hyped intelligence to justify war.
The question isn't, "Is this a conspiracy?" but rather, "Who's next?"
