Paul Rigby Wrote:Another fine interview from the best deep political radio programme around. Much as I enjoyed it, can't say I bought Nadler's revisionist take on Judith Miller; nor his alternative explanation for Kelly's murder. But well worth a listen, and thanks for drawing attention to it.I'm no fan of Ms Miller either but I thought Nadler's take on her interesting: First she makes serious and VERY unwelcome waves for the 'Bio/Military Industrial Complex'; next she becomes the darling of a gaggle of Neocon cheerleading mouthpieces; next she is discredited when her cheerleading has served its purpose. Has a certain elegance to it don't you think?

Also, on the David Kelly business. I'm agnostic. I finished Norman Baker's book about 3 weeks ago. One thing that jarred with me in Nadler's piece was his pointed assertion of its title "The MURDER of David Kelly, whereas the actual title is 'The Strange Death of David Kelly'. That said DK's discomfiture over the Gilligan broadcast followed by his H of C committee grilling could arguably have provided a not-to-be missed plausible cover for any group already contemplating his elimination.
