Bob, Like many of your points, this is excellent. I frankly take too seriously any findings unless the entire investigation including forensics and the autopsy were in the hands of a sophisticated, neutral 3rd country. Guess the BBC will be made too busy defending itself for doing its job, to have a reporter dare raise your question. Yes, why would someone committing suicide be considering penny ante economics and scrimp on analgesics. It would be grotesque to imagine that ANY family would try for a refund on the unused portion or just take use the remaining portion the next time a headache struck. As the father of the sociology of knowledge put it, "The most important question to ask is 'what questions are not permitted to be asked'" Of course, I acknowledge that there may be an explanation other than a sophisticated extra judicial execution that AI (selectively) condemns. I propose another question, what was the pattern of cuts. As a scientist, Dr. Kelly would surely know what is patter is effective and what pattern would likely cause the blood vessels to spasm and reduce blood flow. In the U.S. we had a "strange" suicide by a big White House insider in the previous administration -- surprise it was "handled" by people rather new to murder/suicide. Maybe Yankee ingenuity the job training, efficiency or a shortage of police and "wet boys" and their handlers in Washington. Happened near the CIA, by the way. Guess there was no body on duty to help out or maybe they helped out all too much :-) (gallows humor). tom tom bob.steel1@juno.com wrote: > >his Oxfordshire home, his left wrist slashed and a partly >empty package > of painkillers nearby. > > How odd: if I was going to kill myself I can't think why I wouldn't have > taken the entire package. > > ________________________________________________________________ > The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! > Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER! > Only $14.95/ month - visit www.juno.com to sign up today! > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq. > To unsubscribe, visit http://lists.casi.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/casi-discuss > To contact the list manager, email casi-discuss-admin@lists.casi.org.uk > All postings are archived on CASI's website: http://www.casi.org.uk _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
