Remember David Kelly's death? He was a weapons inspector for the UK and worked alongside Spertzel in Iraq for several years in the mid-1990's.
Dr Kelly, whose body was found in July 2003, had been under intense pressure after being named as the suspected source of a BBC report claiming the government "sexed up" a dossier on the threat posed by Iraq./snip/
A former colleague of the weapons inspector, former UN weapons inspector Richard Spertzel, tells the programme he believes the scientist was murdered by the Iraqis.
Mr Spertzel, who was America's most senior biological weapons inspector and who worked alongside Dr Kelly for many years in Iraq, believes the Iraqi regime may have pursued a vendetta against Dr Kelly.
"I believe that David was probably a victim of Iraqi Intelligence Service because of long standing enmity of Iraq towards David," he says.

This guy just keeps showing up and throwing chaff of an Iraqi flavor at events that could have much more chilling origins. He seems to be the one designated to keep us thinking about Iraqi boogeymen (and the neocon agenda), even for events that happened months after the Iraqi government fell.
