You're probably right. Putin wouldn't hire punks who couldn't do the job. Good call, I missed the two black males bit.

"If I was running an op like this, I would think about subcontracting it to a local gang-banger."

It's a possibility, but so is a street hold-up.

True, but it could even be a combination of the two.

Hire a gang-banger to put a bullet in his balls -- which is even more effective of a warning than killing him in some ways -- the shooter does it, but grabs the guy's wallet and watch as a sort of added bonus, or merely from force of habit.

Whatever it was, it couldn't have been timed more effectively to impress upon and remind Russian critics that the KGB -- let's forget the new name -- is capable and willing do perform "wet-work" anywhere in the world.

Shudder.
Two men interviewed for the Dateline program.
1 dead.
1 shot in the abdomen, but thankfully recovering.

I'd avoid ordering tea in a restaurant.

The gun shots were probably self inflicted.

If I were going to shoot myself, it definitely wouldn't be in the groin.

Clinton is somewhwere reading that article with a wistful smile, remembering the days when he could do that sort of thing with impunity.

First a journalist fell 5 stories and now this. Putin is getting busy.

I can't believe he's involved. I've looked in his eyes and seen his soul.

Shot by two black males in Prince George's County = street crime.

Or a contract killing meant to look like a street crime.

subcontracting it to a local gang-banger. Probably wouldn't cost very much either.

Most like paid in "product" not cash. Likely a product of Afghanistan, which in turn was obtained by trading for weapons, of which the Russians still have a great surplus.

And which could be brought into the country in diplomatic bags, thus avoiding even the slightest security check.
