It is indeed. News here indicates he was despondent over the way he was treated by his questioners on the Foreign Affairs Committee. Labour party MP Andrew MacKinlay suggested to him that he was really just a fall guy. As he called it, "chaff" sent up to divert probing by the legislature. Maybe "despondent" is not quite the right word, but to use his wife's words, ...he was very, very stressed, angry and unhappy about what happened in committee. He (Dr. Kelly) had hopes of the Defense Ministry stepping in (and saving him?) but it seems it wasn't in the cards. Sad, but yet another victim of government's crass manners, the obsessive need to find someone they can blame. The witch hunt is on. They always find the wrong people... keith
