What do we know about Robin Cook...and why is his death so terrible

[KoKo]

for those of us who fought against Iraq Invasion. We are less for his loss. Our cause for truth will be much more difficult. Rest In Peace, Robin Cook. We won't forget you. :-(

5. I too wondered but it looks

like a heart attack. Of course in these times our tin foil hats will not be satisfied with official reports. I'll watch for details next week.

Galloway's tribute
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4128180.stm

Respect MP George Galloway, who served in the Scottish Labour Party with Mr Cook during the 1970s, said he was "Labour to his fingertips".

He praised him for his valedictory speech over the Iraq war, saying "he was able to see far more clearly than the prime minister the hollowness of the claim for the war".

7. "he was able to see far more clearly than the prime minister the hollownes

s of the claim for war."

Your quote from the BBC Link.

8. I was hoping he would be Deputy PM

Once Tony Blair resigned and Gordon Brown took over as PM.

Would be a fery good new beginning for the Labour Party.
