Hoge wrote <i>"His wife, Jan, said on Friday that he had committed suicide."</i>.<br />An article by Miller and Hoge <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/19/world/after-war-intelligence-british-arms-expert-center-dispute-iraq-data-found-dead.html" rel="nofollow">published on 19th July 2003 said</a>:<br /><i>" his wife, Jan Kelly, said in a telephone interview today..... the police had confirmed that the body was her husband's, and that the cause of death was suicide.

I think there are unwritten rules that the...Felix, <br />I think there are unwritten rules that the CIA assasination teams are supposed to refer to before they 'suicide' someone and the choice of a method of suicide will vary depending on the type of person they want to kill and the venues available. So for example someone who is into fast cars or aeroplanes will die in their car in say a car accident or in a plane crash. Someone who works in a tall building will die like Mr Kokal or Timothy Hampton did....they 'jump' out of a top floor window. Someone like Dr Kelly who was clearly a deep thinker and a keen walker will die in a tranquel spot in the countryside a few yards off a footpath after overdosing on pills. <br />Another interesting tools is the unsettling of the victim prior to the 'suicide' in the case of both Dr Kelly and Kokal the victims had their security clearance refused and they had experienced difficulty when travelling abroad in the work. <br />In the case of the police officer Mike Todd the venue was up a mountain, as he was clearly a very fit and active person.<br />I could go on, and on!<br />Frankfrankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515029724043555921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076171049417505718.post-51569935167518530432011-03-09T07:18:14.505+00:002011-03-09T07:18:14.505+00:00Frank

Same method as Sanford,but Kokal was allgedly an Iraq intelligence analyst (reckoned Iraq was no threat) under John R Bolton. Why didn't they use that method on Kelly?

Based on what, exactly? Your excellent timeline,Brian, says that all that has happened by then is that an ambulance has been called out in response to a 999 call. Would Mrs Kelly have known that? Would that normally trigger a press release?<br /><br />Why would there be a press release based on nothing, really, at that stage? Is this what the liaison officer was doing, giving a running commentary to Mrs Kelly ,communicated from and based on events elsewhere? It seems that Mrs Kelly knows already what has happened thus far. Not that there is anything sinister about that. That is what liaison is. I only think a press release is a bit premature at this stage.petersimplexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073375381344003851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076171049417505718.post-40889511422120247012011-03-05T15:07:05.887+00:002011-03-05T15:07:05.887+00:00LL - if you take DS Webb literally I would concur ...LL - if you take DS Webb literally I would concur with your point about WPC Karen Roberts taking on the family liaison job prior to the body being found.<br /><br />But is this yet one more instance at the Inquiry of lack of precision in asking the question and lack of clarity in the answer. I think that the WPC might have been brought in prior to the body being discovered as a comfort to Mrs Kelly and her daughters, particularly with DS Webb returning to Abingdon to report back to ACC Page.<br /><br />Does DS Webb perhaps really mean that WPC Roberts took on the role actually described by him from the point that the Kellys are told about the body discovery rather than when she arrives. Maybe not.

I think it's possible for instance that there was a duplicate set of car keys and that, say, Mrs Kelly saw one set of car keys on a hook in the hall and didn't think of her husband carrying another set.<br /><br />The remark by Mrs Pape that her brother didn't appear to have taken any money suggests to me that Mrs Kelly saw her husband's wallet in the house after Dr Kelly left for his walk.
