UK rejects call for inquiry on mystery army deaths

LONDON, May 24 (Reuters) - The British government rejected calls on Monday for a public inquiry into the mysterious deaths of four young army recruits, despite new evidence from a forensic expert and a police report critical of the army.

Armed Forces Minister Adam Ingram told Parliament he "was not persuaded" a public inquiry would shed any new light on the deaths of the young soldiers at the Deepcut barracks near London. snip

The army has insisted the four soldiers -- three men and one woman who died of gunshot wounds between 1995 and 2002 -- committed suicide. snip

But last year an independent forensic expert found the bullet wounds were unlikely to have been self-inflicted. One of the men had five bullet wounds in his chest and another was shot twice in the head.

3. Back when Chile had a coup, destroying its democracy,
then incumbent President Salvadore Allende allegedly committed suicide with a machine gun, which pumped forty bullets into his back.

4. The Brits now use Texas trained folk to declare "suicide"?
I liked the one in Texas where the fellow kept reloading his shot gun so as to shot himself a few more times - was that the one where he hangs himself just to make sure?

And the fellow making a left hand turn, stopped, and has the front pass. window down so that the smoke from the gun to his head could exit the car - wasn't he the one that connected Bush and Lay and all the accounting scadals in Texas -

or was that felony funeral home case invoving Bush that never charged Bush where ...

OK - I give up - this old mind can not keep them straight - esp. when the media refuses to report on them Fox Cable News Style - every 10 minutes.

I do like Texas law - should be a TV show!

:-)

6. I'm picturing the guy who flew from Vegas to Pittsburgh
(WITH A GUN!) just to commit suicide in a Scaife-owned semiprivate bathroom. Apparently as a "statement" about Scaife, whom he had been very vocal about.

Damn good thing he remembered to bring a gun.
