The Death of David Kelly

[Enraged American]

Was this even reported in America? I was in France, and I saw this story blasted on all channels over there from CNN International Edition to France2 to TF1 to BBC. Does anyone actually believe that he went for a walk one night and slit his wrists on the way? Retarded.

When I came back to the US in mid-August, I saw a whole bunch of news stories that seemed to be put on American news for propaganda purposes (paranoiac "terr-ist" stories) which were not even touched in the European media. It was shocking.

1. Kick

2. His first name was "David," not "Richard."

Yes, it was reported, though I'm sure it was not played as prominently here as in Europe.

3. Oh yeah.

Such a generic name. Sorry. Maybe that's why I'm not getting responses.

[RichM]

6. Hey, whaddya mean a "generic" name?

MY goddamn name is "Richard." I feel that it's quite distinctive! :spank:

4. Everythings' pretty censored here - the U.S. is now #20 in freedom of the

Press... Just another thing we have to thank Bush for. Don't worry we're all getting used to it.... (said sarcastically)

5. yea...

just look what happend to the Arabic news channel...Al-Jazera(sp?)

7. It was reported heavily because it fucked up the glow from Blair's address

to Congress.

He gave a kick-ass speech arguing gently that "a la carte multilateralism" wasn't all that smart of an idea.

[Enraged American]

9. Uh no.

Without Blair's asskissing, there would not have been a war. He served Bush instead of his own people and the socialist international.

Iain Duncan Smith put him in his place. (it's funny how the conservatives are the ones who flip-flopped about the war in UK)

8. As I remember, David Kelly's death was celebrated here

He was a media whore who supported the war. Hey, that rhymes.

Or was that another guy? Michael Kelly? Damn those generic names.
