Michael Kelly (March 17 1957 – April 3 2003) was an editor-at-large of the Atlantic Monthly and a columnist for the Washington Post. He died in 2003, aged 46, covering the invasion of Iraq.

Kelly reported on the Persian Gulf War in 1991 for The New Republic, which served as the basis for his book Martyrs' Day: Chronicles of a Small War (1993).

In 1996 he became the editor of The New Republic. Given that the writer Stephen Glass had been a major contributor under his own editorship, Kelly later felt ashamed that he was fooled by Glass' false stories. Kelly was portrayed by actor Hank Azaria in the 2003 film about Glass' downfall, Shattered Glass. Kelly was fired in 1997 for clashing frequently with New Republic owner Martin Peretz.

After losing his job at The New Republic, Kelly was hired by David G. Bradley to run the National Journal. Bradley was so pleased with Kelly's work that he hired Kelly to run The Atlantic Monthly after Bradley purchased it in 1999.

Kelly was known as a neoconservative critic of anti-war movements on both the left and right. He coined the term "fusion paranoia" to refer to a political convergence of left-wing and right-wing activists around anti-war issues and civil liberties, which he claimed were motivated by a shared belief in conspiracism or anti-government views. Kelly was a supporter of U.S. military interventionism during both the Clinton Administration and George W. Bush's administration.

In September 2002, Kelly criticized former vice president Al Gore for a speech that strongly condemned the Bush administration's efforts to drum up support for the coming invasion of Iraq. In a column in the Washington Post, Kelly said the speech was "wretched. It was vile. It was contemptible." He said Gore's speech "was one no decent politician could have delivered" and was "bereft of anything other than taunts and jibes and embarrassingly obvious lies."blank">http://www.slate.com/?id=2071500http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/access/194588391.html?dids=194588391:194588391&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&fmac=&date=Sep+25%2C+2002&author=Michael+Kelly&desc=Look+Who%27s+Playing+Politics

On April 3 2003, just a few weeks following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Kelly was travelling in a _Humvee with a soldier from the 3rd Infantry Division when the vehicle was fired upon by Iraqi soldiers. The humvee veered off the road and fell off a cliff into a river below.

Michael Kelly (born 1762 - died October 9 1826) was an Irish actor, singer (tenor) and composer.

The son of a Dublin wine-merchant and dancingmaster, he had a musical education at home and in Italy, and for four years from 1783 was engaged to sing at the Court Theatre at Vienna, where he became a friend of Mozart. In 1786 he sang the roles of Don Basilio and Don Curzio in the first performance of Le nozze di Figaro.

Appearing in London, at Drury Lane in 1787, he had a great success, and thenceforth was the principal English tenor at that theatre. In 1793 he became acting-manager of the Kings Theatre, and he was in great request at concerts.

Kelly also made his mark as a composer of music for the stage. According to Russell A. Peck (John Hall Deane Professor of English at the University of Rochester), "The first Cinderella Pantomime in England was the 1804 production at Drury Lane", and the music was by Michael Kelly. blank">http://www.lib.rochester.edu/CAMELOT/cinder/cin8.htm

His relationship with _Anna Maria Crouch, whom he shared for a time with the Prince of Wales , added to his notoriety. Kelly wrote a number of songs (including The Woodpecker), and the music for many dramatic pieces, which have now fallen into oblivion.

In 1826 he published his entertaining Reminiscences, written with the assistance of Theodore Hook. He combined his professional work with conducting a music-shop and a wine-shop, but with disastrous financial results. He died at Margate, aged 64.

Michael Kelly is a Scottish politician and businessman. He held the position of Lord Provost of Glasgow from 1980 to 1984, and was Rector of the University of Glasgow from 1984 to 1987. As Lord Provost, he was instrumental in the city's adoption of the Glasgow's miles better campaign and slogan, which is credited with an important role in Glasgow's cultural renaissance during the 1980s. A member of one of the families that had controlled Celtic F.C. since its foundation, he sat on the club's board of directors until 1994, when the club reached the verge of bankruptcy and the much-criticised old regime was ousted by Fergus McCann's takeover.

Dr Kelly is now a writer and PR consultant.
