Timely suicides

I am fascinated with the the News Corp scandal (‘Hackgate’ ) unfolding in Great Britain. Everyday there are shocking revelations on the cozy triumvirate of politics, police and the press in England. Yesterday, the whistle blower of the scandal, Steve Hoare, was found dead. Amazingly, it is covered in a very low key manner in the press. The British police does not think there is anything suspicious about his death. They think it is just a routine suicide! A few months ago there was Dr. David Kelley a whistle blower on the British involvement in the Iraq war, committing suicide at a time most convenient to the British Government. Years ago, during the Profumo scandal , Stephen Ward a main figure in the case, had the same fate. Looks like the British whistle blowers have a tendency to commit suicides at the right time :)

Move along, people…there is nothing to see here!
