Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Family To Bury UK Weapons Expert David Kelly

HeadlineAug 06, 2003

In the British village of Longworth, the former British weapons expert David Kelly will be buried today. Kelly died three weeks ago amidst a growing scandal in Britain when it was revealed that he may have been the high level British official who told the BBC that the Blair administration had sexed up intelligence on Iraq. Officials say Kelly committed suicide on July 19, days after coming under intense questions by members of Parliament. Kelly’s comments to the BBC and his death has been front-page news in Britain for weeks. Some questions arose over his death last week when it emerged that he was wearing four electrode pads at the time of his death. Health officials said he was undergoing tests on his heart.
