Journal Journal: Litvinenko's Murder Not Executed on the Cheap

The Times today reported that the street value of the polonium-210 dose used on Litvinenko was $10 million and 10 times the dose required to kill. From the story:

A British security source said yesterday: "You can't buy this much off the internet or steal it from a laboratory without raising an alarm so the only two plausible explanations for the source are that it was obtained from a nuclear reactor or very well connected black market smugglers."

The story also reports that in Moscow Sunday, there was a vigil for the more than 200 journalists who have died violently since the fall of the Soviet Union.
