New evidence of cover up in Dr David Kelly's death. Doctors want inquest.

[Jan Klimkowski]

What I find most interesting is the tenacity with which a Spook dominated right wing newspaper is pursuing an issue of such apparent potential embarrassment to Deep State interests. For me, it's less a question of what they report; more one of who is drip-feeding the information and controlling the timing.

The other thing that intrigues me is reports of 'Justice' Secretary Ken Clarke considering re-opening the inquest and 'considering' the doctors request to have the 70 year embargo on the post-mortem report lifted. You will see from the other thread that the reaction to news that Hutton had embargoed it for 70 years was such as to get him reported as relenting and agreeing that these docs should be allowed to see it.

It may be very simple. Certain interests may feel it is possible to lay the blame on Tony Blair, because the spooks know there is some incriminating paper/phone record which could be selectively leaked to establish foreknowledge of, or assent to, the assassination from Blair.

The cover-up would then be: this kind of unacceptable aberration occurs when politicians have too much control over the security services, and the operational independence of MI5 and MI6 must be re-established immediately.

This would achieve two deep political aims:

i) control the damage caused by the fraudulent war on Iraq by blaming an extant hate figure (Blair) and his acolyte (spinmeister Campbell);

ii) create a (bogus) rationale for the security services to operate outside governmental control.

Anyone who's examined the evidence around the death of David Kelly (see eg the other threads linked to in my post above), knows that the official version is complete and utter rubbish. From the security service perspective, there is a reasonable chance that the reality of Dr David Kelly's assassination will become established at some time in the future, and there is therefore a case (from their perspective) to control the damage and use the incident to their advantage.

In short, blaming it on Blair (and governmental interference) in a narrow and controlled fashion to enable MI5 and MI6 to achieve objectives i) and ii) above would be an acceptable result for the spooks.

Speculatively, of course.
