Да, не только при Путине власти хрен знает что творят и не краснеют ни разу. В Англии (как и в США - несмотря на ритуальные вопли о конституции, да-да) тоже все зависит от доброй воли правящей клики, потому что афигенно легко нассать в глаза и никто и не заметит - раз правительство сказало, значит оно лучше знает. И любая ложь так и будет рулить как будто так и надо - до прихода к власти другой клики. Вся разница с путинизмом в основном в том, что клика меняется периодически. А так - один хрен.

История вступления Англии в иракскую авантюру Буша весьма показательна в этом смысле. И восставшему ББС голову свернули (в прямом смысле: директора заставили уволиться, а также самых несогласных сотрудников), и даже сомнительную смерть под шумок запретили расследовать. И проделав все это - бодро вломились в Ирак. Афигеть, честно говоря. Но у людей-то на душе неспокойно с тех пор. Вот и всплыло это дело опять, про сомнительный суицид эксперта по химическим вооружениям доктора Келли:

«The attorney general is considering re-opening the inquest into the death of government scientist David Kelly, it has emerged.

A spokesman for Dominic Grieve, who has the power to go to the high court and ask for a new inquest, said he was reviewing the case in light of fresh calls for the weapon inspector's death to be investigated.

"He remains concerned about this matter and is considering how to take it forward with his ministerial colleagues," said the spokesman.

The move comes after nine experts, including Michael Powers, a QC and former coroner, and Julian Blon, a professor of intensive care medicine, called for a full inquest into Kelly's death saying the official finding – haemorrhage from the severed artery – was "extremely unlikely".

"Insufficient blood would have been lost to threaten life," they wrote in a letter published in the Times.


"Absent a quantitative assessment of the blood lost and of the blood remaining in the great vessels, the conclusion that death occurred as a consequence of haemorrhage is unsafe," the letter continued.

Kelly was the most experienced British expert involved in UN inspections in Iraq intended to prevent Saddam Hussein from acquiring weapons of mass destruction.

His body was found in a woods close to his Oxfordshire home in 2003, shortly after it was revealed that he was the source of a BBC report casting doubt on the government's claim that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction which could be fired within 45 minutes.

An inquest was suspended by Lord Falconer, then lord chancellor, before the Hutton inquiry into the circumstances of the scientist's death.

It was not resumed after Hutton's report in 2004 concluded that Kelly killed himself by cutting an artery in his wrist.

Lord Hutton concluded that "the principal cause of death was bleeding from incised wounds to his left wrist which Dr Kelly had inflicted on himself with the knife found beside his body".

In January, five doctors who made an application to the Oxford coroner to have the inquest reopened, were told that Hutton made a ruling in 2003 to keep medical reports and photographs closed for 70 years. Hutton responded by saying the documents could be revealed to doctors and that he had made the gagging order to spare Kelly's family "unnecessary distress".

Вкратце: заслуженные медики и эксперты патологоанатомы опубликовали в газете Таймс открытое письмо к правительству с требованием провести повторное расследование подозрительной смерти доктора Кэлли, так как признанная официальной причина смерти (потеря крови через порезы на запястьях) не может быть достоверной. А эта сука лорд Хаттон, который и ББС угробил и экспертизу по делу Кэлли, еще и наложил запрет на доследование на грядущие 70 лет. В общем, исключительно гнидостная история.

В США при Буше власти то же самое ровным счете творили - нарушали или обходили закон, удушали сми, всячески беспредельничали. И никто головы поднять не смел: так как тупая "народная масса" тупо верила любой правительственной лжи. Ну что тут еще сказать? Демократия в любой момент может обернуться ужасным говном, все от настроя руководящей клики зависит.

«No fingerprints were found on the knife Dr Kelly is alleged to have used, it later emerged, and he was not wearing gloves when his body was discovered.

In January, it emerged Lord Hutton secretly classified all medical and scientific records relating to Dr Kelly for 70 years, including the post-mortem examination report and photo of his body.

Justice Secretary Kenneth Clark would have to overturn the order to allow a coroner’s inquest to take place.

There is ongoing legal action by a separate group of doctors to secure an inquest, while Attorney General Dominic Grieve can apply to the High Court for an inquest if he believes there is considerable doubt in the public’s mind that Dr Kelly killed himself.

УПД.
«Lord Hutton’s inquiry controversially ruled that Dr Kelly took his own life by cutting an artery in his left arm after being named as the source for the BBC story which claimed Tony Blair’s government had “sexed up” a dossier on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.

Last week Detective Constable Graham Coe, first officer at the scene of Dr Kelly’s death in Harrowdown Hill wood, said in an interview: ‘‘I didn’t see a lot of blood. There was some on his left wrist but it wasn’t on his clothes.”

This contradicts evidence given by pathologist Dr Nicholas Hunt who told the Hutton inquiry there were bloodstains on Dr Kelly’s shirt and jacket, including on the sleeve.

He added: “There was bloodstaining over the trousers and right knee. There was some staining over the left arm. That was the heaviest, including in the jacket sleeve.”

He also said there were bruises on Dr Kelly’s body which might have been caused before he reached the woods.
