My how things change.

1. So were the Brits

but Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[RZM]

2. Of course, Litvenenko wasn't implicated in any terrorist plots

Actually he was accusing the Russian government of them.

[Arctic Dave]

4. He was deemed a threat to the status quo.

What is the saying, it's not illegal if the president does it.

[YellowCosmicSun]

5. Are you accusing him of doing the same things al-Awlaki was doing??

Because unless you are, it's not even close to the same thing.

[Arctic Dave]

8. Both were to be killed by their government.

No trial, no jury.

9. you made a comment about being a threat to the status quo

[RZM]

6. Don't forget Anna Politkovskaia

She might help your point too. Even better, why not throw in a story by RT, the Kremlin's English language outlet? Surely they have some awesomely unbiased reporting on these murders.
