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.”

Ex-spy's death to be treated as murder

From the Associated Press, via the Seattle Post Intelligencer:

LONDON -- Scotland Yard said Wednesday it is treating the death of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko as murder.

The announcement came nearly two weeks after Litvinenko died in a London hospital; the rare radioactive substance polonium-210 was found in his body. Scotland Yard detectives are in Moscow as part of the widening investigation into his death.

"Detectives ... have reached the stage where it is felt appropriate to treat it as an allegation of murder," the Metropolitan Police said. "It is important to stress that we have reached no conclusions as to the means employed, the motive or the identity of those who might be responsible for Mr. Litvinenko's death."

It took two weeks? What, were they treating this as some bizarre form of suicide? There's plenty of evidence that the polonium came from Russia. There are traces of it at Emirates Stadium where one of the "witnesses" attended a match on the same day he visited with Litvinenko. Was Litvinenko at the match?
