UK Lab Traces Polonium To Russian Nuclear Plant

reporter writes "British authorities had identified polonium 210 to be the radioactive poison that killed Alexander Litvinenko, the former Russian spy who defected to Great Britain. Now, according to a disturbing report, the authorities have identified the source of the poison to be Russia. Bloomberg ominously reports, 'Scientists at the U.K.'s Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston, west of London, have traced the polonium 210 found in London to a nuclear power plant in Russia, the capital's Evening Standard newspaper reported today. Officials at the establishment didn't return calls.' A cold chill just fell on relations between Russia and the West." In another twist to this developing story, the shadowy Italian security consultant who dined with Litvinenko has also fallen ill with radiation poisoning.

Will Bush back America away

And avert anything possible from this, or will it stand by its lapdog?

Well, what is supposed to happen is that the remaining powers unite with economic and political sanctions, but as we all know, this rarely happens. Unless of course it's against America.

If governments are united in punishing Russia, then theoretically the people of Russia would hopefully do something (protest or with a vote) to remove the bad guys from government. And our governments would do everything they could do to protect the nations that may be affected from the retaliation from Russia.

I'm sure my Karma will pay... but

I really hate to make this a political discussion, but it kinda puts that whole "Bush is the biggest terrorist in the world" thing into perspective.
