Very conveniently, while the British Governments inquest into the legality of their involvement and support in the American Incasion of Iraq and the complicity of Tony Blair reaches a crucial point, The Governement has decided to seal the records of the controversial death of UK weapons inspector, Dr. David Kelley in 2003.
The article above, which you can click on to enlarge is from 2003 and highlights the actual controversy at the time.
If you remember, Dr. Kelley was the man who made the claim that the Government had "sexed up" the report on Iraqs alleged weapons of mass destruction to justify their support of America.
Dr. Kelley was found dead a few weeks later amid the controversy. The government alleged that it was a suicide. In the subsequent weeks, the BBC was literally disembowled by the Blair Government over their continued investigative reports into the incident and the entire controversy.
Read more in tyesterdays' Daily Mail about this action, which essentially seals any evidence until the year 2073. I would say that this action by the British Government at this time raises more questions and is almost an admission of guilt.

I find it interesting with all the anti-standing army and peaceful intent of the founders, the US has become so effing belligerant.
The worst bit about this is that the people are happy to go along with the warmaking. Especially if the net result is cheap gas.
Yeah, yeah, Detroit made it on cheap gas, but...
Anyway, the Brits are really doing what I call suppporting the troops, which is trying to make sure their aren't fighting an absurd war. They ssupport the dead when they return.
And, they are having inquiries into why the f--- they went into Iraq.

Now, why can't that happen in the US?
...and here in the States, few people give a rat's ass about those WMD's and all of the Cheney propaganda.
That is so yesterday.
We've moved on to pro football finals and the winter Olympics.
The perception of "war and what it really is" depends on the country or society you are viewing it from.
I was in The UK on Nov. 8, last year and it was a profound observance, when in Gatwick Airport, everything stopped...there was a real period of profound silence, the employees and all of the people in the airport standing together. I really found it eerily moving.
War in small countries that have born the brunt of brutal attacks takes on a quite different psychic ambience, than America, where, if you don't want to deal with it, you can just switch the channel.
