Does anyone believe the FSB is so incompetent they would attempt to murder this lady with poison and not succeed?

Even Mossad screwed up a poisoning in Jordan a few years ago. And Russia has failed at a lot of things lately. Also it's not entirely clear that they wanted to murder her. Perhaps they just wanted her sick enough so as to be unable to report on Beslan before the hostage incident ended.

Firstly, this is nothing but speculation on your part. Words like "perhaps, could have, etc. are cheap in arriving as evidence in arriving at the truth. If the Russians were one-tenth as brutal as she reports, then they would not have hesitated in killing her.

Secondly, the lady's writings reek of hatred for the Russians and Bush. I can tell you for a fact few if any writers and reporters produce their reports from the front, rather they are written from the safety of a hotel. The days of Ernie Pyle are gone forever. This woman is not simply a bleeding heart liberal, but a Marxist to boot. And let me once again state for the record. It is my firm conviction the lady was not poisoned, but reported that to fuel hatred for the Russians.
