I don't doubt it. But that doesn't mean a word of it is correct now does it? The capacity to fill pages with words is not in any way proportional to the truth of the words. Much as the war and everything around it - including Dr Kelly's death - was, is and will be a horrendous mistake this is beyond reason. Norman could indeed write more. I don’t doubt it.

Norman could make these allegations in Parliament with the protection of Parliamentary privilege. Instead he is vulnerable surely to the libel laws, yet nothing is said? It IS curious that manner of the death of Dr David Kelly. Even more curious the way New Labour spun the story at the time that had he lived, he would have supported Labour's policy of invasion, yet he "committed suicide". Norman's explanation has some curious characteristics too. Surely if David Kelly did not think WMD existed in Iraq, why would the Iraqi secret services want to kill him? Or was it Iraqi opposition elements? How well organised were they? To know about David Kelly, they must have colluded with the UK intelligence services. Is the Iraqi conspiracy a hypothesis or a theory? What other possibilities are there? I have no doubt Norman could write more. Curious how the media appears to be ignoring this story.
