David Habbakuk will be familiar to readers of Col Pat Lang’s blog Sic Semper Tyrannis. He has some very interesting thoughts on the November 2006 death of Alexander Litvinenko over at Yuri Mamchur’s Russia Blog:
Uncritical acceptance of claims by [Oleg] Gordievsky about how Litvinenko died
is particular bizarre — given that he has made different and
incompatible claims at different times, so as a simple point of logic
some of what he has claimed has to be false. A further curious feature
of Gordievsky’s accounts, however, is that much of what he has claimed
directly contradicts central elements of what has become the official
British version of Litvinenko’s death. And in fact, while one would be
ill-advised to take anything Gordievsky says at face value, some of
what he has claimed fits in distinctly better with the publicly
available evidence than the official version does.
