Subject:	Hutton Inquiry - Restriction of Evidence

There is a considerable weight of well-informed evidence on the internet relevant to Lord Hutton's inquiry into Dr Kelly's death. Yet your inquiry seems to disregard these sources thereby effectively censoring (howbeit inadvertently) the evidence being placed in the public domain.

Below are examples of three web pages, which contain information that might be relevant to Dr Kelly's death and should therefore be of interest to the Hutton inquiry.

www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Kelly.htm
www.rense.com/general39/kelly.htm
www.rense.com/general20/mic.htm

Perhaps you should include in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on the inquiry website at www.the-hutton-inquiry.org.uk the reason why internet-based evidence is not being included. You might also provide links to the relevant memos, e-mails, minutes etc. leading up to such internet document exclusion decisions.

It is now emerging that in his work and his private life, Dr Kelly worked with many scientists and officials inside and outside of governments, quasi-governmental organisations and private institutions.

His private networks of individuals in journalism, academia and the many faiths of the Middle East were also extensive.

It is also clear that since his time as Head of Microbiology from 1984 to 1992 at the Chemical and Biological Defence Establishment at Porton Down in Wiltshire, Dr Kelly has been concerned about the appalling dangers inherent in the next generation of WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) with their DNA-sequenced 'Passover Weapons' and the implied selective vaccination of a government's own favoured ethnic or cultural groups...a horror beyond the wildest imaginings of Hitler's maddest scientists.

Dr Kelly was an expert on much more than the Iraqi weapons programme.

As is evident from the continuing inquiries into the death of the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, restricting evidence at the outset of an inquiry can turn out to be counter-productive.

As your inquiry has made such an effort to provide public access via the internet to the inquiry's proceedings, it would be ironic if future historians were to identify restrictions in the use of internet evidence as the flaw in Lord Hutton's inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Dr Kelly's death.
