If BBC's Gilligan is right, Dr. Kelly lied
Either Gilligan lied tothe inquiry in Dr. Kelly's death, or Dr. Kelly lied to the Parliamentry inquiry.
"Yesterday in the Royal Courts of Justice, Andrew Gilligan effectively called David Kelly a liar. Days after a government spokesman had smeared Dr Kelly as a fantasist with delusions of grandeur, Gilligan alleged explicitly that the civil servant's evidence to Parliament had been systematically and knowingly false."
Another way to put it is that Dr. Kelly either lied to Gilligan or to the Parliament, if Gilligan is telling the truth. In either case, Gilligan's sources for his "sexed Up" dossier case is compromised.
"...If Dr Kelly lied to the FAC because, as Gilligan puts it, he may have felt that he had to "keep faith" with the Ministry of Defence (and had not intended to discredit the Government), why should we put so much faith in his accuracy as a source for the Gilligan story? Either he is an impeccable, unfailingly reliable witness or he isn't.
"Almost everything that Gilligan said about him yesterday implied that, at least under some circumstances, he was not. So in order to defend his own decision to broadcast his story, Gilligan must, in effect, undermine the veracity of his own single source."
Missile sting
A Brit was arrested for tring to sell "stinger" type missiles to FBI agents posing as terrorist.
"...Although the man is likely to face terrorist related charges, initial indications were that he was a known arms smuggler not motivated by terrorist ideology. He is thought to have arrived in the US to collect payment from his clients.
"He is reported to have bought the missile from corrupt officials working at its Russian manufacturers for £53,000 and to have been offered up to 50 more."
