Chemical Weapons Trailers Found In Iraq Planted By Joint UK/US Effort To Deceive Public About WMD, According To Credible British Source
Dr. David Kelly, esteemed mircrobiologist and international weapons inspector, told Observer reporter before his 2003 untimely death, the laboratory weapons found in the Iraqi were fakes.

The two chemical weapons trailers found in the Iraqi desert in 2003 by U.S. forces were purposely planted by a joint UK/US effort to deceive the public, according to a British source who worked on the trailers in 2003 at a U.S. Army workshop.

This new evidence, never before released, comes on the heels of a Washington Post report last week, stopping short of saying the Bush and Blair administrations planted the weapons purposely.

But the report claimed a secret Pentagon fact-finding mission to Iraq already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons, a report given to the White House May 27, 2003, two days prior to Bush's public statement.

However, a secret fact-finding mission to Iraq already concluded the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. More damaging to Bush and revealing his lies to the American people about WMD, leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement.

The contents of the three-page field report and a 122-page final report three weeks later remain classified, as the White House refuses to release the information or reveal the names of the experts who participated in the reports.

But for nearly a year after the report was released intelligence officials continued to publicly assert that the trailers were weapons factories, justifying the Iraqi invasion.

With the Bush administration trying to cover its tracks by the damaging report released by nine U.S. and British civilian experts dispatched to Baghdad by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the new information about the purposeful planting of the trailers, if proven true, should prove beyond a reasonable doubt the Bush administration's motives for going to war were contrived and wrong.

The British source, with close government ties speaking under complete anonymity, claims to have spoken with one of the British technicians called upon by the U.S. to work on construction of the supposed chemical weapons trailers.

"In April 2003 the Army called on my friend for technical assistance during the assembly in Kuwait in Army workshops," said the source this week, speaking from near London. "I am told that the trailers probably came from a manufacturer in Germany, and the parts for the chemical apparatus from Czechoslovakia.

"Presumably then these trailers with integral chemical plants were then 'planted' out in the desert by the Brits to be 'found' a few days later. In fact these are almost certainly the same trailers for which a friend of mine designed the chemical plants in 1991 for a UK firm, but that were not ordered by the MoD at that time. They were intended as mobile plants for burning-off waste chemicals at 1200 Celsius found in the desert.

"Unless such tangible evidence was found in 2003 after there having had to be a War then Blair and Bush would have been in real trouble. I am now trying to find out the ID of the UK defense contractor was who was tasked with arranging all of this.

"It was probably done in-haste as a cost-plus contract, and as an extra to another legit-contract the supplier had running with the MoD at the time. In which case it could have been easily covered-up in the books, say as 'support equipment'.

"The contractor would be told by a Minister or even the Prime Minister to allocate a project manager to a covert and special government project and all supplier invoices that he approved would be charged as extras against the aforementioned legit-contract.

"We think that Marconi was probably the most likely as they put boxes with radar equipment on the same style proprietary trailers.

Further, information has surfaced that another motive for Dr. David Kelly's July 17, 2003 untimely death, according to the source, may have been the Iraqi weapons inspector's knowledge that the laboratory trailers were fakes.

"I have learned from the horse's mouth that the International Weapons Inspector who told the Observer in 2003 that the laboratory trailers were fakes was in fact Dr. David Kelly," said the source.

Kelly was found dead a short time later, his body found with the left wrist slit in a secluded lane on Harrowdown Hill.

Kelly, the UK's premier microbiologist, was in the center of the controversy, identified as the 'leak' in information about the true intentions behind Bush and Blair's illegal contrived and illegal war in Iraq.

While the Hutton inquiry in the British Parliament calls Kelly's death a suicide and the national media fail to investigate leads to the contrary, there are numerous crime scene inconsistencies and red flags showing Kelly probably was assassinated before he could go public with his damaging information.

Both the British and U.S. governments have continued to deny any wrongdoing regarding manipulating or planting any bogus WMD evidence to deceive the public, as a spokesmen for the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency refused to comment on the specific findings of the technical report, as well as reports coming out of England the weapons trailers were planted.

China 'selling prisoners' organs'
By Jill McGivering
BBC News

Top British transplant surgeons have accused China of harvesting the organs of thousands of executed prisoners every year to sell for transplants.
In a statement, the British Transplantation Society condemned the practice as unacceptable and a breach of human rights.

The move comes less than a week after Chinese officials publicly denied the practice took place.

In March, China said it would ban the sale of human organs from July.

'Selection'

The British Transplantation Society says an accumulating weight of evidence suggests the organs of thousands of executed prisoners in China are being removed for transplants without consent.

Professor Stephen Wigmore, who chairs the society's ethics committee, told the BBC that the speed of matching donors and patients, sometimes as little as a week, implied prisoners were being selected before execution.

Chinese officials deny the allegations.

Just last week a Chinese health official said publicly that organs from executed prisoners were sometimes used, but only with prior permission and in a very few cases.

But widespread allegations have persisted for several years - including from international human rights groups.

Transplant tourism

Professor Wigmore said: "The weight of evidence has accumulated to a point over the last few months where it's really incontrovertible in our opinion.

"We feel that it's the right time to take a stance against this practice."

The emergence of transplant tourism has made the sale of health organs even more lucrative.

Patients increasingly come from Western countries, including the UK, as well as Japan and South Korea.

Professor Wigmore described this as quite widespread and growing. He and his colleagues, he said, had all seen cases of British patients who had considered going to China for transplants. He really hoped, he added, that people would think very hard about whether they should.

Secrecy surrounding executions in China has always made it difficult to gather facts.

The Chinese authorities recently announced steps to tighten regulations. From July, selling organs will be illegal and all donors must give written permission.

But the practice is lucrative and critics say much will depend on how well those rules are implemented.
