Almost makes you feel as though the Cold War isn't over, and spies are killed to silence.
Forget the Photon Torpedo. I want a Proton one.

Its not that we don't care. We care. And personally, i do think that russia did some fishy business there too.
However, "insincere" american troops have more room for discussion.
And if we want to talk about Litvinenko, we should talk about Anna Politkovskaya too.

I think not many people know about this topic. Probably why this is kind of a stagnant thread.

This subject reminds me of the movie, The Bourne Supremacy. The plot is very similar to this.

You think, I know. Being born in Moscow, I know everything always is under ther table. It is communism w/ a democratic look. People can only survive with bribes. It may not be Putin but definately from the Krelim.

Litvinenko was investigating the death of Anna Politkovskaya when he was poisoned. It's likely someone probably thought Litvinenko knew too much.

it was obviously Putin...
considering that type of rare and deadly radioactive substance can only be made in sophisticated nuclear labs (in otherwords the govt's)... this couldn't have come from an assassin from anyone else but Putin because lets face it, they don't have nuclear capabilities any where around there...
also Litvinenko said that Putin had killed him before he died... as well as the fact that he was critical of Putin, and was investigating the death of another person who went against Putin...
