Murdoch by Numbers
"Suicide" Squad--Based on a list of questionable deaths compiled by justicereform.
  • Dr. David Kelley-- "Dr. Kelly had been singled out by the government as the likely source for a BBC report in late May that Downing Street inserted a claim exaggerating the threat of Saddam Hussein's weapons "
  • Dr. Bruce Ivin--"As the BBC revealed in the wake of his passing, he had been the key source behind a story claiming intelligence on Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction was 'sexed up.'"
  • Margie Schoedinger--The woman who filed a rape lawsuit against George W. Bush "expired" on Sept. 22, 2003 via a gunshot wound to the head.
  • Deborah Jean Palfrey--This "DC Madam", who ran an escort business for politicians and the like, hung herself.
  • Gary Webb--He investigated the Contras in the 90s, and in 2004, he "was found dead from two gunshot wounds to the head, which the coroner's office judged a suicide."
