Individual Liberty — Individual Responsibility

For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001

“Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

Another Kremlin Critic in the Litvinenko Mess

I've suspected for some time now that once Russia refused to allow the British to conduct an unimpeded investigation into the Litvinenko murder that they would find a scapegoat. Now it looks like they have...

Moscow says an anti-Kremlin businessman living in Israel could be behind the radiation poisoning of Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko, but the allegation only further complicates a spectacularly bizarre murder case.

What more really needs to be said? An "anti-Kremlin" businessman did it. He's living in Israel. He's been wanted in Russia for an alleged murder attempt that took place in 2001.

It seems a bit of a stretch to me that he'd travel back to Russia, steal over 15,000 times the lethal dose of polonium 210 from a Russian nuclear facility, travel to Great Britain with it, poison Litvinenko, then travel back to Russia, and finally back to Israel without being caught by the authorities that had been looking for him the whole time.

Of course, he's only said to have possibly "ordered" the murder. He's "linked" because of traces of mercury?

Israel has refused to extradite Nevzlin to Russia and Nevzlin, like Khodorkovsky himself, claims he is being persecuted for having challenged Putin's increasingly dominating grip on power in Russia.
According to Russian press reports, an attempt is currently underway to extradite Nevzlin from the United States, where he had gone on holiday with his family. Interfax news agency reported he was briefly detained for questioning, but released.
But Alex Goldfarb, an associate of exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky who was Litvinenko's friend and spokesman, told AFP that the allegation was "total nonsense."
"Accusing Nevzlin, the Kremlin is just trying to cover up," he said. The accusation "just raises the suspicion that the government is trying to hide its responsibility."
...
The Vremya Novostei newspaper described the linking of Nevzlin to the Litvinenko case as "rather extravagant."

Rather extravagant indeed. The Russians are claiming that one of the prime suspects was actually a victim of an attempted murder using polonium 210. I'm afraid I have to agree with Alex Goldfarb.

The Kremlin is trying to cover up the assassination and poisoning of its critics, and it's using its critics as scapegoats.
