As far as I can see, there is no internet reference anywhere to Dr Kelly as a defence intelligence expert. In fact the only person who is linked to that soubriquet is interestingly Dr Brian Jones.<br />According to <a href="http://www.the-hutton-inquiry.org.uk/content/mod/mod_2_0009to0011.pdf" rel="nofollow">MOD/2/009-11</a>,he was nothing of the sort. Or was he? Notice this sentence in para 4 : "<i>He was also responsible for providing advice to the Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) and the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) on Iraq"</i>felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-73386574837934786182010-12-09T07:19:32.070+00:002010-12-09T07:19:32.070+00:00Interesting that Brian Jones is being asked to giv...Interesting that Brian Jones is being asked to give written evidence. <a href="http://www.iraqinquirydigest.org/?p=9379" rel="nofollow">As he says</a>, everything seemed to change on or about 12 September 2002 with a secret Report he calls X (just as Gilligan took his "boating holiday" when Dr Kelly said he met him at the mysterious IISS meeting immediately after President Bush's <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/sep/12/iraq.usa3" rel="nofollow">"gathering danger" Speech</a> to the UN General Assembly,itself following on from the first 9/11 commemoration.<br />Jones' <a rel="nofollow">Failing Intelligence...</a> will apparently be adduced as evidence. <br />I wonder where Dr Kelly fits into it all? <br /><br />What I don't think Chilcot will ever get to the bottom of is just why the US had the UK by the short and curlies forcing it/Blair to do anything the US wanted it to do.felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.com
