The British government yesterday opened an inquiry into the death of weapons scientist David Kelly who allegedly killed himself after being identified as the British official who told the BBC that the Blair administration had exaggerated the case for war. Yesterday evidence emerged that many top officials within the British intelligence community shared Kelly’s belief that Blair was distorting the evidence to make the case for war. In addition the Guardian reports that Kelly played a much more significant role in advising British officials on the controversial Iraq dossier than had been previously disclosed.
