2/22    "Russians, British meet over spy death"
        http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070220/ap_on_re_eu/poisoned_spy
        What's the point for the Brits to work with Russian investigators if
        they think the Russian govt itself is involved?
        \_ Apply pressure and hope they trip up.
        \_ There's no point.  Nothing will come of it.  It's just cold war
           stuff at a lower than cold war levels.

5/26    Is it correct to call someone the daughter of Puerto Rican
        "immigrants"? Seems wrong to me. Puerto Ricans get US Passports.
        \_ Yes it is correct.
           \_ Thanks! Obama immigrated from Hawaii, right?
              \_ Not the same.  Doubly not the same in the early 50s.  Go watch
                 yourself some West Side Story.

4/9     I've been reading articles about piracy and it's not really an issue
        of there being just two dozen ships to patrol a large area. It
        only really takes one ship, if it's the right ship (an aircraft
        carrier). The Navy should be using helicopters and ship-based
        aircraft (e.g., Harriers) to patrol and respond to these incidents
        and then you only need a couple of destroyers to perform

3/9     Dang.  Obama seriously screwed up that meeting with Gordon Brown.
        Seriously, isn't Hillary supposed to be helping with this stuff?
        http://csua.org/u/nq1
        \_ She was busy screwing up her meeting with Russia.  Seriously, they
           didn't like Bush, but at least they didn't openly laugh at us.  I
           guess they don't need to worry about crypto.

12/18   You know why US economy is messed up? North Korean SUPERNOTES.
        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar
        http://www.slate.com/id/2124884
        Throughout WW2, Germany produced supernotes to ruin the
        British/US economy. N Korean is doing the very same thing today.
        \_ Seriously?  You believe this crap?

        \_ The gunmen were going to places that British + Americans
           frequented at. They had no idea if this guy was a Canadian
           or not.

AP Russians, British meet over spy death By TARIQ PANJA, Associated Press Writer Tue Feb 20, 11:57 AM ET LONDON - Scotland Yard said that investigators from Russia were in London on Tuesday to discuss the inquiry into the poisoning death of a former KGB agent turned Kremlin critic. The former agent, Alexander Litvinenko, was poisoned with radioactive polonium-210 in London and died Nov. Russian officials have complained that it has taken Britain more than a month to approve their request to visit several sites and question about 100 people, including the exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky. "Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service's inquiry team are currently meeting representatives from the Russian Prosecutor's Office to discuss the progression of their request for mutual legal assistance regarding the death of Alexander Litvinenko," a Scotland Yard spokesman told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with force policy. The Russian Embassy confirmed that a Russian official had arrived to talk to police, adding that he was making a preparatory visit ahead of the possible arrival of a larger team of investigators. Scotland Yard said the meeting did not mean Russia would be granted access to witnesses in their investigation, saying they were only "discussing" the status of the Russian investigators' request. British police traveled to Moscow in December and were present during questioning of Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun, two Russian businessmen who met with Litvinenko in London on Nov. No additional interviews by British investigators in Russia are expected. Litvinenko, once an agent in the KGB and its successor, the Federal Security Service or FSB, was granted asylum in Britain after accusing his superiors of ordering him to kill Berezovsky.
