The David Kelly Enquiry: My View
			24/07/03
	By now, we (in Britain) are all well aware of David Kelly's suicide over the (lack of) WMDs in Iraq dispute. We are reminded every two minutes on the news and the newspaper (well the broadsheets, the Sun prefering oral sex headlines) headlines are awash with it. Rumours circulate that it could bring Blair's government crashing down quicker than the Berlin Wall in 1989; or it could be the end of the worlds most respected TV network: the BBC. I think the whole thing is over-rated. To be sure, the allegations into the 'sexing-up' of intelligence are important, and I admit that suicide is not a nice thing. However, this man must have had serious problems before this whole thing blew-up if he killed himself. There is no way the pressures from this would have be enough on their own to drive him to suicide. Maybe he was having erection troubles. And to be calloulsy honest, why should be spend hours listening and reading about one man killing himself. There are far more important issues that this. To list just one, of which most people will be blissfully unaware: more than one in three adults in Botswana are infected with HIV or have developed aids. That's 600,000 people, and that's just Botswana Sources: BBC Website UN Webiste
