MP to investigate Dr Kelly's death

There is more to this than anyone has said. Let's remember that one of the last e-mails Kelly wrote was to Judy Miller of the NYT in which he told her that "there are very dark forces at work."

MP to investigate Dr Kelly's death:

"05/19/06 'Guardian' -- -- A backbench MP is to investigate the 'unanswered questions' from the official inquiry into the death of weapons scientist Dr David Kelly.

The former Liberal Democrat environmental spokesman Norman Baker today revealed his decision to stand down from the shadow cabinet two months ago was based on a quest to establish the 'truth' behind Dr Kelly's death.

Mr Baker said he wanted to return to the issue because the 2003 Hutton inquiry had 'blatantly failed to get to the bottom of matters'.

He vowed to question ministers and to unearth new facts in a bid to establish the 'truth' of the case.

Dr Kelly was found dead on July 18 2003 after being named as the possible source of a BBC story on the government's Iraq dossier.

Later that month Lord Hutton was appointed head of an independent inquiry into the events surrounding Dr Kelly's death. After a two-month inquiry, Lord Hutton concluded the scientist had taken his own life.

Oxford coroner Nicholas Gardiner subsequently looked into the possibility of reopening the inquest into Dr Kelly's death, but after reviewing the evidence with the lord chancellor, decided that there was no case for doing so.

Mr Baker explained that he had decided to wait until he relinquished his environmental role before embarking on an investigation to find out the 'truth' that the Hutton inquiry had failed to deliver."
