When in doubt, don’t

The real story here is how far Russia has swung toward thuggish international relations. Is this just growing pains or an essential feature??

I have followed the Litvinenko story at Strata-sphere.com blog and found him convincing. The main thrust of his comments was that the Russians could not be that stupid and that the physical evidence suggested an accident with smuggled radioactive material.

The British led claim that this was an assassination by the Russians seems to be weakly supported when it comes to known facts. Do the British know something we don’t??

It will be good to learn more.

Not that the KGB isn’t capable of killing people.
What really happened with the attempted assassination of the Pope for instance??

Like Able Danger, this is a story that seems to have been misreported with key parts supressed.
