Thu Nov 23, 2006 8:32 pm Posioned Ex-Russian spy dies in hospital |
|
Quote: | Former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko has died in hospital three weeks after apparently being poisoned in London.
Friends have said the 43-year-old was poisoned because of his criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin - Russia has denied any involvement.
Scotland Yard said they were now investigating "an unexplained death".

Russia seems to be continue its slide back to Authoritarian government.

Startling! To be honest, I'm quite convinced Putin was behind this.

This as Russia is delivering Tor-M1 air defence rockets to Iran.
I'll wait for more investigation, but I have to say my gut feeling is definately that Putin was behind it.

Russia's clearly an enemy of the United States and the free world. It's done this, it's helping Iran acquire nuclear weapons, I'm convinced it's partially responsible for the removal of Saddam's WMDs...What's next?

Hopefully an election where Putin is kicked out of office?

No, because that's the best, most honest phrase.
