David Kelly felt betrayed at the decision
of his Defense Ministry bosses to make his
name public as the source of a BBC report
saying the government inflated the case for
war against Iraq, his widow testified today
at the inquiry investigating his suicide.
"He said several times over coffee, over lunch,
over afternoon tea that he felt totally let down
and betrayed," Janice Kelly, 58, said of her
husband, a former United Nations arms inspector
in Iraq who served the ministry as an expert
on unconventional weapons."He had been led to believe that his name would not come into the public domain from his line manager, from all his seniors," she said. "He was so very upset about it."

My computer genius friend has described one kind of good manager. This kind of manager is a technical ignoramus and he knows he is. But he has a nose for people. He cultivates good employees, and he protects them from the outside world. When somebody beats on him, or tries to beat on them, he asks his people what the right technical thing to do is. He listens to them and goes out to be their sword and shield. This kind of manager can probably sit on his duff a lot, but he earns every cent he's paid, because he does something his people either can't or most certainly don't want to do.
