He told a friend in his last hours, “The bastards got me but they won’t get everybody.”
Note to Antiwar.com and Lewrockwell.com and their apologists for Eastern European satraps, “the bastards” must refer to the sushi chefs at the Itsu sushi bar.

I hardly doubt the late FSB defector died from “bad sushi”. More likely it was some sort of radiation posioning as they found radiation in his body after his death. Wonder how could this “bad sushi” be the cause of all of this? Hmm?
Irony, M. Irony. (See this blog posting: http://www.tomgpalmer.com/archives/041280.php )
Litvinenko’s house in 2004 was also fire bombed. Hmm, how is someone like Raimondo going to deny Putin was behind that?
It may be early to draw clear conclusions about all such cases, which Palmer has not done, but it’s also absurd to insist that no roads lead back to certain security services and their bosses. We know well what kind of people start right away making denials, at the same time that they call killed people state enemies.
The sorts of toxins used on Litvinenko, and earlier on Yuschenko, are not the kinds of poisons you can pick up at a local pharmacy. They pretty unusual, and appear to be from the KGB arsenal.
I suppose one could argue that someone with access to KGB poisons is trying to frame poor Mr. Putin, but the most reasonable explanation for everything we are seeing in Russia is that Putin himself is crushing all his opposition. As Putin himself has said, “There is no such thing as a former KGB man.”
Trying to say that Putin isn’t involved in some way with these murders/posionings is like saying OJ Simpson had nothing to do with the murder of his wife (even though the evidence was proven quite well in the civil suit) just to use that analogy.
You can’t pick them up from a local pharmacy, but that’s mostly because they’re not drugs.
But as this SF Chronicle shows, it’s not that tough to come by and you can buy it on the internet and have them shipped UPS to your house.

Jason’s note has all the marks of a “researcher” who’s already convinced of a conclusion, or who at least wants others to be convinced of it. According to the BBC, which interviewed a passle of nuclear physicists:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6190144.stm
“There is only one reactor in the United Kingdom that could produce it, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t,” said Nick Priest [BBC: “Professor Nick Priest, one of the few UK physicists to have worked with polonium-210”]. He explained that it was unlikely that polonium-210 could be produced in a reactor without administrators knowing about it.
Alternatively, the radioactive substance could have been purchased from a commercial supplier. Polonium-210 is used commercially in devices used to control static electricity.
Chris Lloyd, a radiation protection adviser, said the polonium-210 in anti-static devices was not in a form that could be removed easily.

So Justin’s buddy find an article that tells us some guy was offering to sell the stuff over the internet. Case closed. If some guy is offering to sell through the mail, it couldn’t be Putin. And anyway, the guy must have committed suicide, anyway. So it couldn’t be Putin.
Maybe we oughta wait for Scotland Yard to do their job before we decide who did it or who didn’t do it.
No, you’re right, the much more reasonable explanation is that the San Francisco Chronicle and the Indpendent are secretly Putin-apologists because their articles contradict your world view.
How could anyone have doubted?
That’s not what I had in mind. You’re the guy with the made-up mind. I just find the campaign to “rule out” a “likely suspect” to be on the lame side. First, the police don’t rule out suicide in their investigation (any why should they?) and that means (see Ditz’s comment on the othe thread on this topic) that the deceased’s testimony is suspect. Second, a google search finds that somebody has offered to sell Polonium-210 on the internet (no evidence that it’s real or enough to kill a person) and that means that “it’s not that tough to come by and you can buy it on the internet and have them shipped UPS to your house.” Come on.
Like I said, maybe we should wait for Scotland Yard to do their job.
Thank God I have you around to tell me whether or not I’ve made my mind up.
Mr. Ditz works for Mr. Raimondo, who certainly has made up his mind and who is a slavish supporter of authoritarian statism in Eastern Europe. Whether Mr. Ditz agrees entirely is not obvious, but it’s noteworthy that his only efforts seem to be to support Mr. Raimondo.
I agree that we should let the investigative process proceed before deciding who did or who did not kill Mr. Litvinenko.
This whole thing about Putin apologists coming aboard and denying Putin has anything to gain from the death of the late FSB defector is saying like OJ never had anything to gain from the death of his wife while his supporters ignore these claims because of concern of “racism” in this case, it’s “imperialism” by the West that “murdered” the FSB defector.
Geeze, what’s this world coming to?
Between Dan telling me what I believe and that I’ve already made up my mind and Tom telling me who I work for and what my agenda is, you guys hardly need me here at all, do you?
Not so, Ditz — we need you…who else would point out to us that dioxin isn’t a drug?
Unless they’re using a definition of “drug” that I’m unfamiliar with.
Charles, of course this is not about Dioxin being a drug or not. In fact, What Mr Ditz and his colleagues prabably want us to understand is that British Airways and Japanese cuisine are the victims of a conspiracy.NV
This puts the lie to the claim of Antiwar.com people that polonium 210 is easy to buy — http://www.slate.com/id/2155363/
‘Under very tight controls in the United States, minute traces of polonium-210 are embedded in plastic or ceramic, allowing them to be used safely in industrial static eliminators. To recapture these traces in any toxic quantity would require collecting over 15,000 static eliminators and then using highly sophisticated extraction technology. Such a large-scale operation would instantly be noticed, and its product would be adulterated by residual plastic or ceramic. In any case, what investigators reportedly recovered from Litvinenko’s body was pure polonium-210.’
