Kelly Galileo ------ --------
Just wanted to Baited the bear be left alone
Historically One of the most important unconsequential individuals of all times
"Was not threatened" Was shown the instruments of torture
Told truth Lied because knew hie accusers
were not worth dying for.Killed himself Muttered under his breath: because he "Eppur si muove" and lived could not cope to a ripe old age with being jerked under house arrest. around by Inquisition
Somewhere between David Kelly and Galileo, in the jungle -- I mean: in civil society --, is Wen Ho Lee.
Kelly joins the man who perhaps did as much to defeat Hitler as anyone, Alan Turing, as a recipient of The Ultimate Reward Bestowed by The British Empire for outstanding patriotic servide: to be hounded to kill yourself.
Meanwhile, back in America, the man who probably did as much as anyone to enable Truman to obliterate Hiroshima and Nagisaki, J. Robert Oppenheimer "only" got striped of his security clearance (well, he was only suspected of being a comsymp, not also of being homosexual!).
"And history continues." (--Elsa Morante)

I find the news about Dr. Kelly exceptionally disgusting (some of us identify with the fate of persons we imagine might be ourselves...). But, who knows, maybe the truth is that what the police have found is not Dr. KJelly but a body double, and Dr. Kelly himself is now safely in the U.S. witness protection program, getting a face-life and a new life.
