LONDON — Gaunt and frail, his organs succumbing to the cruelly destructive
power of radioactive poisoning, Alexander Litvinenko lay in a London
hospital bed in November 2006 and identified the man responsible for his
impending demise: Vladimir Putin.

Nearly a decade later, an exhaustive inquiry by a British judge concluded on
Thursday that the dying former KGB operative was probably right. For the
first time, the Russian president was officially implicated in a murder that
seemed plucked from the pages of a Cold War spy novel but actually played
out in the bar of a posh hotel in 21st-century London.

PUTIN VOTED WORLD's 3rd-MOST ADMIRED MURDERER

Moscow - Russian President Vladimir Putin has been named the third
most admired murderer in the world, according to a new poll
for The Times. The YouGov poll scientifically sampled opinions
from Pat Buchanan, Mike Huckabee, British fascist Nigel Farage,
and assorted citizens of 13 countries.

Putin handily topped former U.S President and wolf-comrade
George W Bush, whose only noteworthy murders were JH Hatfield,
Margie Schoedinger, Mark Lombardi, Ron Brown, Sen. Paul Wellstone,
David E. Rosenbaum and Hunter S. Thompson. Collateral deaths of
wartime were not counted for this poll, nor any deaths prior to
1970, particularly the Kennedy assassination, which were
considered to be "old news".

======================================================

Hard to get excited when they announce that Putin "probably" authorized
the murder. Does the legal "probably" constitute "a preponderance
of evidence" or "beyond reasonable doubt"?

This is the problem when heads of state murder, or in the case of JFK,
when they get murdered.

A head of state, or an institution like the CIA that is powerful enough
to kill a head of state, can destroy the evidence. You can almost
by definition never obtain definitive proof. They are above the law
because
they ARE the law, can control the law. There exists no power really
capable
of investigating them, save for another intelligence agency whose
revelations can be dismissed as "propaganda" and whose means of
collecting the evidence could not be revealed in most cases due to the
need to protect sources.

What all that means that is heads of state and outfits like the CIA
should be given zero tolerance for suspicious circumstances. The guideline
of "innocent until proven guilty" is fine for everyday courtroom trials,
but is absurdly naïve and inapplicable to leaders who are above the
law. The worst should be assumed, and that assumption should be
acted upon.

Whether it is Putin, or the American right-wing, GOP murder of JFK,
there should be no "benefit of the doubt". There should be uprising.
