No inquiry into Diana's death
The British government on Tuesday ruled out an independent inquiry into the death of Princess Diana following a newspaper report that months before her death she had written a letter claiming there was a plot to kill her.

1. Well, that will put speculation about conspiracies to bed.
Not.

The majority think she was killed. There is unease among the people over this. There has been no inquest, inquiry in Britain over this. Ergo, let's bury it.

I will never fail to be amazed at the stupidity of people in power.
RIP, Diana honey.

2. all this does
is make those of us who are conspiracy theorists think that there is a coverup.

4. Check the polls.
*

I am not a conspiracy theorist and frankly, I resent the 'stupid'
remarks. I was commenting and it was based on reading the Guardian.
Check the polls.

5. you mean like this one?

If you're not a conspiracy theorist, then why should you resent a remark about them being stupid? You're the one who used the insult in the first place.

6. "Conspiracy theorist"
Is the term conspirators love to use to dismiss
people who think for themselves, and don't
accept the official BS.

But I will never fail to be amazed at how evil
the powers that be are, in Britian and the US.
And I will never fail to be amazed at the rudeness
of some people, for example those who refer to critical
thinking as "stupidity."

7. Critical thinking?
What does that have to do with people in power?

10. Um, the "critical thinking" comment wasn't a reference...
...to the corrupt people in power.
It was a reference to members of the public
who question the official BS from the people in
power.

8. I don't believe she was deliberately killed.
Her death was the result of one stupid decision after another by
Dodi, who was quite out of his depth in handling the situation that
had developed with the paparazzi.

We've been told there will be an inquest, but not when. The sooner
it happens, the better, and it should be quite open, and the results
published in full. The French haven't helped by keeping the
conslusions of their inquest private, it promotes the idea that there
is something to hide.

9. I think she was a threat to the monarchy because she was raising her kids
so that they would hate it as she did.

William said in an interview that one of his most distinct memories of his mother when he was little was of them watching TV and there was a phone-in poll, "should the monarchy be abolished?" He said that his mother called in 'Yes" something like 300 times in a row. She handed him the phone and told him to do whatever he wanted to do. He called up and voted 'Yes" over and over.

Diana wasn't a ragin liberal. But she had a great heart because she saw the brutality of the monarchy wanted it gone.

11. Buck House is 'studying the manuscript'
to see if any copyright has been breached:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3210874.stm

Burrel claims the "warning letter of adultery" he is publishing is from Prince Phillip to Diana.

If so, under UK copyright law, the copyright belongs to Phillip and no one can publish it without his permission.

The whole thing smells bad.

Burrell may have just fallen into a huge counter-intelligence trap and tried to publish crap that had been planted to discredit him if he ever got too uppity.
