Calm down. Putin didn't poison Litvinenko

Okay, the Russian journalist killing has gotten way to much coverage in my opinion, but I just want to ask a question....

If this was the Russian government, ex-KGB, or whatever, after 40 years of leading edge chemical and biological weapons research, don't you think they have something better than a radioactive isotope that leaves traces everywhere this guy goes?

Doesn't that seem to indicate someone who wants the killing to be traced back to the Russians rather than the Russians themselves?

Later: Looks like I'm not alone. The Guardian,
British intelligence sources increasingly suspect that Alexander Litvinenko, the former spy killed with a radioactive poison, was the victim of a plot involving "rogue elements" within the Russian state, the Guardian has learned.

(Also: I know this is alpha radiation we're talking about here, but, still, shouldn't I be concerned that three planes were flying around with radioactive traces and no one in this post 9-11/dirty bomb world even noticed?)

  • I guess it is more important that I don't bring a bottle of water on board than to prevent someone from traveling with radioactive material.

    Again it shows how the governments are busy pretending to protect us while in fact they are only inconviniencing us.

    Most fools can't tell the difference.
