But the recent appearance of the dead body of David Kelly, a British Defense Ministry expert and weapons adviser that was believed to have informed the media about the government exagerating its claims on Iraq's power and arsenals of weapons of mass destruction, just seems a bit too convenient.
One would have thought that by this point they would be above just murdering witnesses - or at the very least public people with ties to the media - but it seems that the tactics used by common criminals are just right up their alley.

The article implies that he killed himself by slashing his wrist. He had painkillers nearby, probably to overdose in case all these bleeding to death nonsense didn't quite work.
Subtlety seems to be the order of the day.
