quote[Britain's intelligence agencies last night claimed that the poisoning of the Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko bore the hallmarks of a "state-sponsored" assassination.
A senior Whitehall official told The Times that confirmation that the former Russian spy, who had become a British citizen, had been poisoned with radioactive polonium-210 and other evidence so far not released pointed to the murder being carried out by foreign agents.]
I've been saying this all along. This could only have come from a nuclear state, and therefore would have been authorized only at the top levels.
There really are only a handful of states that could pull this off, and whomever did this (Russia) actually fucked up: If they used less polonium, the same effect would have been achieved (it might have taken a little longer), but it probably wouldn't have been detectable.
Want to talk about weapons of mass destruction now??? Or is it inconvenient when the perpetrators are our allies???
