Thus spakeJJ, chanelling Putin:
so a particle smaller than a dust mote could be fatal. probably nonsense. We need to check this out.
You're quoting a wikipedia source on Litvinenko as authoritative on polonium? Hilarious!
OK, OK, maybe you will believe Pravda on the Hudson, now?

Troitsky puts in his 2 cents:
Somehow, then, I don't think the poisoning of Litvinenko, a mere pawn in Berezovsky's game, is linked to any dangerous disclosures. I tend to agree with those who suggest that this was, most probably, an act of revenge by the FSB - an organisation that considers punishing traitors a basic principle.
I'll buy that.
No matter how exotic or pragmatic the motivation was behind the attempt to finish off another dissident, one important conclusion must be made: it is too early (or too late) to write off the cold war as last century's joke, retreating into obscurity in the face of the al-Qaeda threat.
Don't worry, be happy, says JJ. Have some more sushi.
Hey, I can't let go. Got you by the cojones fair and square there, I gotta milk this to the max!
But so take a look at Troitsky's piece, he makes some good points. And it gibes somehow with that Italian report.
You think it's cool to kill each others' posts?
Hey, I just killed one of yours my mistake (due to klutzy interface here). I said I was sorry -- though you should really thank me for erasing it, it was quite bad, believe me.
No it wasn't, AI, and your 'quote' about "whacking the Rosenbergs" was a fabrication. I know who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, but if I can say the assholes that shot pictures of Lyndie England should go to the wall for spilling secrets, then it's a little too convenient to say Litvinenko was a Brit citizen minding his own business. He was outing Putin's murder of Politkovskaya (I think her name is) and that's dangerous business.
How to make yourself glow in the dark:
In one incident, in the remote west of former Soviet Georgia, a group of woodsmen found two capsules of the material which was emitting heat in a forest. They used them to keep warm at night but soon developed acute radiation sickness. The capsules turned out to be the highly radioactive strontium 90 core of a nuclear generator from a long abandoned aircraft navigation beacon.
Duhhhhh....

Was not. Just an ad-literam quote from your now-gone post.

I don't think this is what happened -- every one knows that the KGB whacked Politkovskaya, why would they bother offing Litvinenko for restating the obvious? I think Troitsky's Occam's razor explanation is more plausible -- they whacked him just because they didn't like him, and probably also as a signal to others to chill out or else. Capisci?
Chill out or else we leave you stone cold. Right. Quit saying it was Putin that ordered Politkovskaya's murder. Yes, it was obviously KGB (what's their new handle? a rose by any other name...) knocked her off. Litv was saying Pute ordered it. That's different.
With all this post-bloc spy bullshit going on, Anne Applebaum might want to think about hiring a couple dozen goons -- though that can even give a false sense of protection.
Semantics, JJ, semantics. You've probably heard of that Frenchie king who said l'État c'est moi?
Or, as Taranto says today, Read more about it in Putin's forthcoming book, "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened."
Yes, JJ, if you believe that the glove won't fit on Putin, then you must also believe it didn't fir on OJ. Oh, wonders of logic!
