Doctors call for David Kelly inquest

[deminks]

A group of doctors is making a fresh bid to force an inquest into the death of the weapons inspector David Kelly.

Legal papers are expected to be submitted to the attorney general, Dominic Grieve, by the end of next week, requesting his authorisation for the five doctors to go to the high court to seek a full inquest into the 2003 death of the scientist.

The latest move was prompted by an interview given last month by pathologist Nicholas Hunt, who carried out an autopsy on Kelly's body.

Hunt told the Sunday Times that he regarded the case as a "textbook" suicide and disclosed details from his postmortem report, which the Hutton inquiry ordered should be kept secret for 70 years.

Barrister Michael Powers QC, who is acting for the group of doctors, said Hunt's comments gave weight to their argument that Hutton's inquiry did not represent a sufficient examination of the cause of Kelly's death.

Powers said: "The media has now presented evidence which we have never had before. The fact that he felt it necessary to go to the press and say these things proves to us that the inquiry was insufficient."

1. I'll never forgive him for Ally McBeal

And that horrifying CGI dancing baby.

2. Ummmm...

Isn't that David E. Kelly, the producer, who is married to Michelle Phiffer?

[Orrex]

3. And I'll never forgive him for getting between Michelle and me, either.

Some topics need all the help they can get to stay kicked.

Thanks!

10. In part, I'm making fun of myself for involuntarily making that connection

By extension, I suppose that I'm mocking the superficiality of our entertainment culture, such that if you ask 100 people on the street who David Kelly was, it's likely that 60 or more will say something about Ally McBeal while another 35 or so will say The Practice.

And the bigger tragedy is that America's MSM is more likely to run a headline story on David E. Kelly than about the suspicious death of Dr. David Kelly.

If it can be proved that Kelly was assassinated by the state for what he knew, something I believe is very likely, can you imagine the consequences? I don't think it will ever be allowed to go there. They'll shut it down as a matter of nat'l security.

12. Agreed. Opening this particular can of worms could change the world.

It would be amazing if it were allowed to happen.

13. If only I could live in a time when this were possible.

Conservatives, Labor Party, Centrist Dems have chosen to move away from the pursuit of justice in order to not damage their foundation of power.

14. They can't conceive of the possiblity of anything else. Or, they can but fear it. nt

15. Good ...

everything surrounding 9/11 needs a fresh look 'cause the official

stories aren't believable --

[dogday]

16. As much as I would like to see the entire truth come out. I

very much doubt that we will ever know the real events surrounding Mr. Kelly's death..
