What twisted logic.
Buchanan is off his meds again.
Off his meds, when is he ever on them??
Buchanan needs to ask several more questions. Would this form of suicide be appealing to anyone for any reason? And, how did this man obtain the radioactive material necessary to do it? Rare radioactive material at that!
Don't blame him too much - Pat needed a good couple decades long experience of living in the effing KGBland - and then he would know better. What you hear from him is the ignorance crying to high heavens, rather than malice.
