a man of conscience can't live with the shame of fudged data. Whistleblower
pays ultimate price. So, now, almost four years into the fiasco we see the life
of a man of integrity was lost for the data swarm of obfuscation leading up to
the attack of Iraq. David Kelly had already comitted political sucide before
his demise.

up" Report on the Death of David Kelly suicide: Lord Hutton Findings
challenged by Medical Doctors by Drs. Stephen Frost and Christopher Burns-Cox
and David Halpin Global Research, November 28, 2006 Global
Research Editorial Note On November 3, 2006, The Times published a letter
by Lord Hutton regarding the circumstances of Dr. David Kelly's death. In this
letter, Lord Hutton dwells largely on the issue of "sexed up" intelligence
rather than on the circumstances and causes of Dr. David Kelly's death. The
inquiry was supposed to be an inquest. Suicide was always assumed but suicide
was in fact never established. In this regard, it was not only the intelligence
which had been "sexed up", the Hutton Report, which assumed suicide
without proof, had "sexed up" its findings to implement a coverup and
undermine due process. A response to Lord Hutton was drafted and submitted
by three distinguished doctors to The Times, which refused to publish it and declined
to give a reason. We bring to the attention of our readers the text of the
letter which the Times refused to publish. It is important to note, in this regard,
that Drs. C. Stephen Frost, Searle Sennett and David Halpin succeeded in breaking
the mainstream media silence on the possibility that Dr David Kelly did not commit
suicide, with a letter in The Guardian on the eve of publication of the Hutton
Report. They were subsequently joined by other doctors and lawyers. The original
November 3 letter by Lord Hutton to the Times is reprinted in Annex, together
with links to the texts of Dr. Frost et al. letters published in The Guardian
and The New Statesman. Global Research, 28 November 2008--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEXT OF RESPONSE TO LORD HUTTON by Drs. Stephen Frost, Christopher
Burns-Cox and David Halpin Dear Sir Lord Hutton presided over an inquiry
which sought to apportion blame between the BBC and the Government for the "suicide"
of Dr David Kelly when no "verdict" of suicide had been (and still has
not been) reached. His report was widely labelled a "whitewash", because
he was perceived to apportion that blame unfairly (given the evidence he had heard),
all but exonerating the Government, and placing the blame almost entirely on the
BBC. Now, in his letter published in the Times (3 November 2006), he seemingly
seeks to defend his report by setting out his case re the minutiae of the "45
minute claim". Lord Hutton misses the essential point. What is more,
it appears that he was used by the Government to subvert due process in establishing
precisely how Dr Kelly died. We and several other medical colleagues (and lawyers)
attempted in a series of six letters published in The Guardian and one in the
New Statesman to inform the public, and the mainstream press, that all doctors
learn at medical school that, in order to return a "verdict" of "suicide",
a coroner must prove suicide beyond reasonable doubt (a very high level of proof),
including "intent" to commit suicide, also beyond reasonable doubt.
If the Coroner cannot achieve the necessary level of proof, he is required by
law to return an "open verdict", assuming that "foul play"
has at the outset been excluded in the proper manner. Unfortunately, there is
some doubt as to whether "foul play" was properly excluded in the case
of Dr Kelly. However, disregarding any such failure in such a high-profile death,
it is important to understand that the public was invited to believe that Dr Kelly's
death would be better investigated at the Hutton Inquiry than at a coroner's inquest,
when the exact opposite was the case. Lord Hutton possessed none of the powers
normally available to the Coroner. He could not (and did not) hear evidence under
oath, he could not subpoena witnesses, he could not aggressively cross-examine
witnesses, and he could not call a jury. Not enough with that, his inquiry was
an "ad hoc" inquiry, not a public inquiry (as the public and the press
were led to believe) subject to the provisions of the Public Inquiries Act !921
(itself quietly repealed last year and replaced by the Inquiries Act 2005). Lord
Hutton was invited (and consented) by Lord Falconer (the Lord Chancellor and the
Minister for Constitutional Affairs) to conduct an inquiry on the very day that
Dr Kelly's body was allegedly found. Later, Lord Falconer, used his powers as
Lord Chancellor to invoke Section 17a of the 1988 Coroners' Act and order the
Oxfordshire Coroner, Mr Nicholas Gardiner, to "adjourn indefinitely"
his inquest. But, Section 17a had become law on 1 January 2000, largely, it is
believed, at the instigation of Lord Falconer. Its purpose was allegedly to obviate
duplication of inquiry following multiple death scenarios (eg train disasters),
when the cause of death could to some extent be assumed. But, Dr Kelly's death
was a solitary death. In addition, Lord Hutton's remit and powers (since it was
an "ad hoc" inquiry) were determined by Lord Falconer. Lord Hutton's
remit was extremely narrow (and Lord Hutton seemingly sought to narrow it further),
and his powers were very limited, so limited in fact that Lord Hutton could not
prove anything, let alone "suicide". After all, Lord Hutton was directed
by Lord Falconer to do no more than "inquire into the circumstances surrounding
the death of Dr David Kelly", and it appears that establishing the cause
of Dr Kelly's death was not viewed as a priority. But, the cause of the death
should have been THE priority in an inquiry which eventually purported to obviate
the need for a full inquest. Despite all this, the Coroner, Mr Nicholas Gardiner,
on 16 March 2004, thought fit to conclude that there was no "exceptional
reason" for him to re-open the Inquest, and even deferred to Lord Falconer
by saying that he (Lord Falconer) was happy with the findings of Lord Hutton,
and then went on to say "and so am I". Given the obvious "insuffiency
of inquiry" re the cause of Kelly's death over which Lord Hutton presided,
he (the Coroner) should not have been sharing in Lord Falconer's happiness. In
addition, the Coroner was surely extremely unwise to talk to the Mail on Sunday
some weeks before his final hearing in March 2004, saying that he wished to achieve
"closure" at his coming hearing, and hinting at that stage that he could
see no "exceptional reason" to re-open the Inquest. Apparently,
it is unprecedented for judges to discuss publicly their findings, as Lord Hutton
has done, not once, but twice. But, then, it is unprecedented for the Government
to lead the public to believe that a "verdict" of suicide has been reached,
and the Inquest "closed", when no such verdict could be reached, and
for that reason the Inquest could not be closed. Dr David Kelly is the first
British citizen to be denied an inquest in such circumstances. Given the clear
"insufficiency of inquiry", regarding the cause of death over which
Lord Hutton presided, the Coroner should have re-opened the Inquest. There are
unconfirmed reports that he (the Coroner) now regrets that he did not do so. It
is our view that if the Coroner is not able at this late stage to reverse his
decision, a fresh inquest should be ordered. Yours faithfully C Stephen
