LONDON — It has consumed more than eight years of maneuvering, obstruction and a widow’s dogged legal campaign, fought often on a shoestring. But finally, on Tuesday, a public inquiry is set to begin its quest for an answer to the question that has driven the whole process: Why did Alexander V. Litvinenko have to die?
On Nov. 1, 2006, Mr. Litvinenko, a former officer of the Soviet K.G.B. in self-exile in London and a vocal critic of President Vladimir V. Putin, sipped tea from a poisoned pot, took sick and died 22 days later. Only after his death did British scientists confirm that the poison was Polonium 210, a rare isotope manufactured mostly in Russia.

Well that’s an odd religion to embrace under such circumstances.
It is obvious that the Russians were trying to make a statement. Almost any other method might have left questions about its origins. This message was that the Russian state killed this guy and they wanted it slow and painful. They also didn’t care if anybody else was cross contaminated in the process.
Oh yeah, let’s hit the reset button.
Still available on the internet. Unfortunately your stash is no more, half life of 138 days.
Actually, I was relieved by the short half life.
I doubt the Russians would bring P210 into England just to bump someone off, too much risk of international incident if they were caught.
More than likely they were there to retrieve it.
I do have a very strong suspicion based on what I have read in several articles. He was healthy, and relatively young (he was only 43 years old). He had recently lost weight. He exhibited no symptoms of illness that night or right before he was found stricken. The forensics technician investigating his death at the L.A. Coroners Office, Michael Cormier, died suddenly after complaining of pain and vomiting. Right before his death, he announced he had videos that would spell "the end of Obama" and was about to release them. The videos that his Brietbart media eventually did release were videos that had already been seen before and were not of the same subject matter that Andrew Brietbart had discussed and told CPAC he was going to release. If the original tapes had surfaced, then I would have believed he died of a heart attack. But they didn't. Several of Breitbart's friends and colleagues recommended he get a body guard and never be alone in the street. Michael Savage also told him this. The EMTs who responded said that Breitbart's body was "bright red." Most heart attack victims turn blue.
Did he simply die of natural causes? Sure, that could have happened.
But there is a history with Obama that makes me very suspicious. A homosexual member of Obama's radical "church" under the "Rev" Wright died under suspicious circumstances, and his family is convinced he was murdered.
So all in all, I lean towards Obama taking him out. If he didn't, then he didn't. But if he did, then he, and those responsible, will answer to God.
Argentine prosecutor shot point blank in forehead: official
I’d suspect the Iranians first, then the Argentine government. I could be wrong.
Per Argentina: I have seen the people protesting. God Bless Them. This is horrible.
Yes, it is. But if he didn’t become a Moslem until he was dying from poisoning, his religion was not the likely motive for his murder, right? I mean logically speaking we don’t poison people because they might convert to a religion that’s one we hate or fear. I’d say he was murdered because he was a knowledgeable and capable critic of the arch criminal Putin.
