" ... Vladimir Putin, has expressed his anger at Britain’s failure to gag Alexander Litvinenko ... "

Tony Blair has taken seriously the assignment of an honest attempt at governing and leading.

This may be the first in a string of world leaders that have said, "F*** it ... let's get it on."

This is the kind of stuff that keeps nukes in their silos ....

or sets them off.

Mr. Blair is neither a poodle of George Bush nor Mr. Putin. Plus, in generally free countries, the leader cannot stop such freedom of speech.

Sorry to keep asking these questions, but apparently organizing a webpage is very difficult. If http://www.freerepublic.com/~jedimasterpikachu/ is very disorganized on your screen, can you freepmail?

I used to think Putin was a squirrely litle bastard. Now I am of the opinion he is an evil, squirrely, litle bastard.

Yes. Very evil. Very squirrely. Ultimately so.

Suffocate him, eh? And he wanted Blair to do the dirty work. Glad he didn't.

Well, a squirrel is a relative of the RAT, which he resembles both in appearance and behavior. Rats will gnaw through anything in their way, including sometimes, wire mesh.

I was never one of those who really believed Russia in general, and Putin in particular, was our friend.

So, where are all the KGB trolls?

Why gag him if Putin didn't do it?

the Russians had “seemingly failed to understand” that Litvinenko was under police supervision rather than in custody

Talk about a culture clash!

My feeble theory so far. The perp thought the Brits wouldn't figure out the cause of the spy's death. (It did take 3 weeks and a few misdiagnosis.) That's why the contamination in London wouldn't be an issue.

When the contamination was discovered, at some later date, the source wouldn't be known, and wouldn't be linked to the spy's death. And, obviously, the source had no compunctions about the exposure of innocents in London.

Some truly evil, sick bastard with what motive? The English always have the best whodunnits!

"Why gag him if Putin didn't do it?"

Only a Russian would have the audacity to commit such crimes and cry like a baby when accused of same.
They have no reverence for life - that is why Russians kill more hostages than terrorists.
