Litvinenko's Way

Let's just say I hope the authorities are looking at the nuclear connections and considering which capitols of the world Jihad would like to pulverize. Because deathbed conversions to Islam among caucasians are suspect, at best. And this man had long-noted addictions to everything that huge wads of cash could buy.

Hmm. Litvinenko, Bette Midler's underwear, and the Baker report each get one comment. John Lennon gets 22.
The sixties may be over but the eighties apparently aren't.
Anyone see the new Duran Duran video?

Just to be fair, the John Lennon post has been recycled from two years ago, so the comments have been piling up since then.

But you're right: we do have ADHD.

Sometimes it's just plain funny to read about all those Russian clowns pulling the West' strings (especially the strings of their wallets!).
Being a Russian I am familiar with how much every agents knows about the whole of the Russian Secret services. Believe me -- even less than rookie FBI agents!
I was a witness (and a hired interpeter) when one such crook came to the owner of a local company and offered him a very "profitable deal". In spite of my warnings the owner was so taken by worldly and articulate thief that he allowed the guy full run of his company. The company ended up in receivership, but the crook got a million dollar house in Orlando, a condo in Daytona and two Mercedeces. Eventually the FBI got on his case, and he escaped back to "Mother Russia", but for almost ten years he lived like a king.
