I'm sure someone will have already mentioned him
Tony Blair for being as big of a warmongering nasty bastard as GW Bush. Not only that, it's the fact that he's not sorry for invading Iraq. "They've got WMD" he said. No they didn't. They knew that anyway. I believe it was the reason Robin Cook resigned.

"If we'd have left Saddam alone, he would've developed WMD"

Would he fuck. What with? The country was sanctioned to death almost. They had no military to speak of let alone any method of developing a nuclear arsenal. The Iraqi national orchestra couldn't import spare parts for instruments, that's how bad it got.

I would go on, but you know the rest.

David Kelly, may he rest in peace.

I never really understood why the government got so much blame for that.
Firstly, The guy was covertly blabbing confidential government information to the press. If you're going to do that, then you really have to realize that there are going to be consequences for your position as a government scientist if you're found out. Doing what he did was not the only option he had in terms of whistleblowing and it was a particularly stupid one to choose.

Secondly, the guy topped himself. That takes more than just the prospect of losing your job and status: we're not living in medieval Japan and he's not required to commit seppuku over his loss of honor. I don't think it's realistic to expect people to consider that he was suicidal before acting. Hell, his suicide even came as a surprise to his wife; how the hell was the government supposed to foresee that he would slash his wrists?

This government is guilty of a lot of really shitty stuff. The death of David Kelly, however, is not really their fault in my opinion. Actually it's one of very few things that aren't their fault. In fact, it might be the only thing that isn't their fault.

No, I mean they actually *had him killed*
It's not some circumstantial thing about hounding a depressed man until he offed himself, he was murdered by MI5 agents acting on orders from (whisper) ...them.

After all, they did it to Diana.

I suppose next you'll be claiming that 9/11 was the work of Hulk Hogan (or Islamic extremists, I forget the official line)?

It goes all the way to the top! Wake up man! Wake up!
