Or was he thought to be a double agent? And whoever the recipient was of the polonium needed him to be taken out of the way. Still not a good scenario.
How much Polonium is in $10 million?
My bad dreams are back...
Dumb, dumb, mind jumping speculations...
When did the ban on liquids take place? Doesn't Polonium 210 vaporize in air? Wouldn't this be transported in liquid?
Lets be clear about what we are talking about here. One gram of PO-210 can kill 100 million people, and one still needs to wonder why three trips are required to move one gram? Are we talking three grams - one per each trip into London? That would mean enough to kill 300 million people!
People who wonder why I get tired and frustrated with the ever weakening assassination theory need to digest what it means to dismiss this alternative scenario. We could be seeing a sea of dead Litvinenkos soon, depending on how much PO-210 was traveling through London this October. And I doubt those three installments would only net 3 grams.
If the above is true, what if an Al Quida unknown enemy of the United States is/was the potential customer?
Maybe Tyler Durden poisoned him.
If it was a Russian op...then the latter is most likely.
'good evidence' that Putin did it I am immediately curious and would love to see this evidence

What part of 'Russia killed 100 million in the last century'
do you not understand.
Bingo. I'll repeat this one more time. He should have listened to his momma.
She said,
Whaat? Someone had to say it.
The part where killing 100 million in the last century is tantamount to killing the ex-spy. Is that the so-called 'good evidence' that is being talked about?
As I said in a prior post, both sides are utterly nuts. The 'Putin did it' and the 'Putin didn't do it' camps are both simply blowing smoke from a certain place. Neither side has any evidence (and the fact that you are basing your 'Putin did it' evidence on Russian killing 100 million people in the 20th Century just shows to what extent the 'evidence' gathering has gone to).
What you gave me is not evidence ....it is actually proof of the contrary. The lack of it.
On looking it up, there's confusion as to who was the source of this information: Was it his next-door neighbort? "Litvinenko's conversion to Islam was announced by his next-door neighbor, moderate Muslim and Chechen dissident Akhmed Zakayev..." Click here. Or was it his father? Click here and here.
There are also discrepancies as to whether he received the Muslim last rites or not - found within the above links.
If he had converted to Islam, that would strengthen my conspiracy theory that he himself was the source of the polonium - that he was a terrorist who was planting polonium in various places. Anyone who has ties to Chechen Muslims is automatically suspect, in my mind.
Chechens have been fighting for independence from russia [on and off] since the 1820s, way before anyone have heard of wahhabism. [The international angle is a very recent phenomenon there]. That makes them a bona fide liberation movement. Working with them could be logical for anti-putinoids, thus I do not see much suspicious stuff in it. The whole affair stinks of kegebuns.

Usual russophobia again:).

Accually the crowd "Putin did it" has to present evidence. Opposite crowd shouldn't do that because of "innocent until proven guilty" priciple. I for one just wait that those who blame Putin show thier evidences. For me it is enough that Putin has no motive to kill and no access to Litvinenko.
And your judgment is spot-on.
$69 times 15,000 is $1,035,000.

Yes - given their dedication to unrivaled barbarity, fear of Russians is well justified.

The ballon broke.
......Who kills someone... a single person... with a $10m weapon?......
A person with access. Remember the Soviet mentality. You set people to producing and then pay them year after year after year. The industrial plan called for the production of polonium with no regard for how much or even if any was actually required. In such a society, there is no economic penalty for capital absorbing inventory over production.
God only knows how much of the generally unneeded stuff was produced and stock piled. Marc Rich, Bill Clinton and Al Gore got rich cornering and selling the Soviet aluminum stock pile. The market was trashed when the glut hit.

Litvians conviniently forgot thier former president Brazauskas and who he was during soviet times. They blame only Russians but accquit themselves. It is just usual russophobia nothing more.
