Litvinenko Conspiracy Rundown

Was it the KGB? Was it polonium being smuggled to Chechen rebels to build a dirty bomb? No one seems to know right now what killed former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, but The Baltimore Sun ran a great article on what the chatter around the world intelligence water cooler is these days.

Everyone seems to agree, however, that the rift between East and West is beginning to grow once again.

Despite Russia's goals of entering the World Trade Organization and the European Union, its need to have sympathy for problem nations like Iran and North Korea have put it in an awkward category of speculation.

Russia's government didn't win any points last month by selling missile defense systems to Iran despite a call by Western nations to end arms transactions with the Middle Eastern country. With the mysterious death of Litvinenko, it all seems to be a repeat of Cold War antics.

So, get your shovels, dig a hole, and snuggle up with a couple copies of Red Dawn and Mad Max! Your post-apocalyptic fantasies could still come true!
