Protest too much...
But I really wonder why Putin's people propound these theories. What is he trying to gain? Why doesn't he just say, "OK, so I offed him. What are you gonna do about it?"

When I don't think the Russians could get any crazier, somehow they always manage to surprise me. Strange. At one point I thought Putin was a fairly rational human being, but I can see that power has gone to his head. He's become almost as loony as Kim Jong Il.

Rule # 1. Not a single word passing kegebun's lips can be trusted. This includes the pauses a kegebun has to make to swallow the accumulated saliva or to catch his/her breath.
Rule # 2. Not a single constructive deed by a kegebun can be trusted. If a kegebun malingers a suicide, one is to mistrust it and to make sure by double-tapping the malingerer in the head. In their destructive capacity, however, one can put one's full confidence.
Rule # 3. For the purposes of the Rules # 1 and # 2, the kegebuns are those directly connected with the infamous organization, it predecessors, successors, affiliates, debtors, creditors, lessees, sub-lessees and assignees [collectively, "KGB"], and all those associating with, and/or pushing, its agenda.
Rule # 3, then Rule # 1.

You've got to know, this just sounds silly on the face of it.

What proof is there that he or anybody under his orders did it? It seems to be just assumed.
If there's no proof the Russians did it, perhaps they didn't?

No further proofs are needed. The kegebuns exist and operate under presumption of guilt.

If there's no proof the Russians did it, perhaps they didn't? There is NO WAY Putin could have ordered such stupid and harmful act. As Machiavelli said: the skillful politician do not make OBVIOUS mistakes. (Non-obvious mistakes everybody can make).
It is quite likely that the Litvinenko death was an accident taking place among deranged people playing with dangerous toys. But if there was a real conspiracy, the most likely it was done in order to damage Russian government. The key could be the failed assassination of former prime minister Gaidar. Gaidar was the main proponent of 1990s free market reforms and his death could be used against Putin in a much more powerful way..
When Gaidar managed to survived, he did not want Western doctors to help him. He fled immediately to the Russian embassy and then flew to Russia. This strange event must have made him rethink his allegiances.

Would this YUKOS guy be able to shut down the russian BBC radio station during those first critical days when the rest of the world was learning of the poisoning incident? Obviously this was done on the direct orders of putin. A british warrant should be issued for his arrest.

Obviously this was done on the direct orders of putin. Shutting down BBC for a couple of days? Maybe. It would help to limit the damage. But killing Litvinenko? No, it was too damaging.

I think it was for 4 or 5 days, but proof positive that it was putin whodunit.

In a statement released yesterday, the prosecutor general's office said: "A version is being looked at that those who ordered these crimes could be the same people who are on an international wanted list for serious and very serious crimes, one of whom is ... Leonid Nevzlin."

Mr Nevzlin, who lives in Israel, said the charges levelled at him by the Russian authorities were fabricated. His spokesman, Amir Dan, said yesterday: "Everyone knows the KGB's methods. These statements are ridiculous and do not warrant a response."
The statement from the prosecutor general's office did not give any details of the allegations against Mr Nevzlin, but it did reveal that prosecutors had formed a special investigative unit and were preparing to file international requests for assistance in the case and possible extradition demands.
