However, information new to this writer since that article provides a much stronger motive for the assassination of Dr. Kelly.
For several months, Kelly had been communicating with Victoria Roddam, a commissioning editor for Oneworld Publications based in Oxford. One week before Kelly's death, she had sent him an e-mail that said in part, "I think the time is ripe now more than ever for a title which addresses the relationship between government, policy and war-I'm sure you would agree." They had been discussing Kelly authoring a book to be published by Victoria's company.
Another document found among Kelly's effects at his home and removed by police was an undated hand-written note from Roddam with a list of suggested topics to be included in the book, any one of which would have sent the elite in several countries into a containment mode.
One such topic was the ethics of biological warfare, a sticking point that could be responsible for a string of deaths of world-class microbiologists in various countries.
A second one was the involvement of corporations in biological warfare.
A third was the role of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries in biowarfare as well as prevention and containment.
Yet another was the connection between Russia and Iraq with WMD.
Victoria had also listed a look at the proliferation in the arms trade as well a look into the Royal United Services Institute-Whitehall.
Finally, in the document there was a cryptic one-line reference to the rules of the Royal Institute of International Affairs (RIIA).
Recall Kelly was a neophyte member of the RIIA and likely would not have known what rules, if any, the organization had on members authoring books on sensitive subjects. He probably would have inquired disclosing his intentions. He also may have discussed it with his fellow member and confidante, Olivia Bosch.
It would have been in character for him to discuss the project with Judith Miller and perhaps seek her advice as she had authored several books on topic. He may even have discussed it with his spiritual advisor Mai Pederson.
At any rate, Kelly's and Victoria's project was no longer a secret (if it ever was). And now David Kelly has joined the growing list of world-class microbiologists who have met mysterious deaths and/or been murdered.
