You really don't think anyone is about to question the death of an ex Russian KGB spy colonel do you. Russia still has tentacles in every country in the world. I wouldn't want to ask anything which might upset Mr Putin - you will note I am whispering this answer. If you keep up with the news in that Country you may remember a very prominent lady journalist was murdered not so long ago - she was anti Mr Putin and his Government's practices too and said so often in her newspaper. So her voice has also been stilled. I am still whispering. Good luck with your enquiries.

Why does everyone seem to have sympathy for Litvinenko? What you overlook is that this man is a traitor. He turned against his own county and no doubt gave up state secrets to gain entry in the UK. Think about how the Russian people would feel? Would Americans have sympathy if Benedict Arnold was poisoned by George Washington? If some high level CIA agent defected to Russia or to Saddam Hussain and gave secret to the enemy, do you think it is barbaric for the US to kill the particular agen?
THis man may be useful to the west because of all the information he knows, but certainly a defector deserves no respect. They have already shown they cannot be trusted once.

I'm from the US, we should not maintain diplomatic relations with the soviets (what else should we call them?) if this is their standard.
I don't like those countries that are connected with sex slavery to be in Nato, if Nato allows humans to be treated as sex slaves or poisoned when they are a political problem in its member country soil then either we need to get out of Nato or Nato should kick those other countries out.
If democratic governments allow these things to go on without consequences then none of us are free.

I only know what I have heard in the news, which is probably the same things you already know. It is not good for anyone to get killed. I don't think the fact that he was a former spy makes it any worse. What we are probably looking at is final revenge by his former employers, but we will never know that for sure.

Shock, I think. Or at least that all the facts are not yet known. The last news I heard is that he was radioactive and had left traces in a restaurant and hotel room (but there's no risk to anyone, lol). I don't understand how he wasn't caught glowing in the dark.

Because people are scared. Everyone that speaks out against Putin's regime gets killed. Yes, that man was important and he mattered, but most people don't want to die.
