why a government scientist (apparently) committed suicide

The answer to that is probably easier than is being made out: the chap had broken the official secrets act in order, it is true, to blow an important whistle, and couldn't take the resultant flak.

However, in other areas, the government is pretty keen on whistle blowers - they just didn't like official confirmation that they had taken us to war on a lie. So if Kelly had managed to ride the storm for a little longer, he might have found wide appreciation of his revelations instead of just feeling got at.

I agree with you about the BBC reporting of the enquiry, but they were at fault in their initial report.

The whole thing is a mess: lots of culpable individuals, each to be blamed for different parts of the whole thing. It will be interesting to see what Lord Hutton makes of it in the end.
