Is Dr. David Kelly buried at the heart of the Murdoch scandal?
The more I read today, the more convinced I'm becoming that Murdoch's Minions were at the heart of David Kelly's murder in 2003. Murdoch's media was instrumental in selling the march to war with Iraq that Kelly was threatening to derail.

In May of this year, Cameron blew off the notion of a Metropolitan Police investigation into Kelly's death:

David Cameron rules out further inquiries into death of Dr David Kelly

Sir Peter Tapsell, a senior Tory backbencher, asked Mr Cameron during Prime Minister’s Questions: “Now that there is to be an investigation into the abduction or murder of Madeleine McCann, isn’t there a much stronger case for a full investigation into the suicide or murder of Dr David Kelly?”

Mr Cameron said while he welcomed the Metropolitan Police review into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, he was not supportive of a similar move in the case of Dr Kelly.

David Cameron said the Hutton report into the Government weapons inspector's death had been “fairly clear”, adding: “I don't think it's necessary to take that case forward.”

The remarks appeared to catch the office of the Attorney General off-guard, with officials suggesting that nothing had change. A spokesman for Mr Grieve’s office said he would announce “in due course” whether he will ask the High Court to order an inquest.

Andy Hayman, who is identified as having close connections with Murdoch's Minions, was chief of counter-terrorism (Special Branch) that was part of the Met until 2006. Two Special Branch officers were apparently Johnny-on-the-spot when Kelly was suicided. Hayman was also the first officer in charge of the phone hacking scandal.

Now the landscape gets even more surreal.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jul/13/news-international-rogue-intelligence-agents">News International accused of dealings with 'rogue' intelligence agents

MI6 (GG: also known as SIS) and MI5 were drawn into the phone hacking scandal when News International executives were accused in parliament of having close dealings with "rogue" members of the intelligence services.

David Cameron said the inquiry into hacking would be free to examine the allegations made in the Commons by Tom Watson, the former Labour defence minister who has campaigned against phone hacking.

Watson said: "Can I ask the prime minister would he allow Lord Leveson access to the intelligence services as well? At the murkier ends of this scandal there are allegations that rogue elements in the intelligence services had very close dealings with executives at News International. We need to get to the bottom of that."

The more I read today, the more plausible it becomes that Murdoch and Co. were at the heart of Dr. Kelly's murder.

This event utterly dwarfs Watergate. We are seeing the entire corporate/political/intelligence edifice of the UK and probably the US cracking wide open before our eyes. Un-fucking-believable.

1. Hadn't thought about that before, but it sure as hell makes sense.

6. You might be wrong about that this time.
I sure hope so. I never expected to see the head of Scotland Yard resign...

Murdoch is certainly part of the coverup, if nothing else.
