This is just a summary of some discussions I have seen in response to the Tea Pot news that came out last week and continues to roil the Litvinenko story today. What has been an eye opener for me is how little people generally understand the chemistry and physics of nuclear materials and their [...]

I’ll just hand this over to Gateway Pundit for the great news:
The U.S. ambassador said Wednesday that one of the Iranians detained by U.S. forces in Iraq during two raids over the past month was the director of operations for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Quds faction, the organization responsible for funding and arming Iraqi militants.

I would [...]

he Blotter news blog is claiming that UK Police discovered a critical clue in the Polonium 210 trail that criss-crossed London last fall. But it took over a month after the fateful poisoning for that supposed clue to the death of Alexander Litvinenkp to show up:
British officials say police have cracked the murder-by-poison case of [...]

Richard Branson is a business genius. He has stepped right into the controversial stem cell debate and come up with a superb idea:
Sir Richard Branson will launch his most controversial business to date as he moves into stem-cell storage and the biotech sector, The Times has learnt.
The Virgin-branded company will be launched next Thursday [...]

I am still stunned Fitzgerald is trying this case, because it is clear EVERYONE was talking to the press about Wilson and the CIA had basically never made any effort to tell anyone not discuss Wilson and Valerie. Read to the end where today’s witness saw the VP direct Libby to call reporters (Andrea [...]

What happens when you disarm law abiding citizens so that only criminals have weapons? Simple: More criminals feel comfortable commiting crimes with guns (allows them to control the situation). Ask Washington DC, which has one of the nation’s bans on personal firearms. And then come across the River to VA where [...]

While Congress cries “uncle” to al Qaeda and whines “make it stop!” about a war they barely understand from their overstuffed chairs in DC, our heroic military is going all out to win this thing.
Mortar blasts thundered across central Baghdad on Wednesday as Iraqi and US forces fought insurgents in a Sunni bastion, after US [...]

For those who wonder what would someone want so much Po-210 that it required three ‘consignments’ to get the material through London, when only 10 millionths of a gram wa required to kill Litvinenko (200 times over). Well, let’s not forget that beyond its high toxicity, it is a key element in old nuclear [...]

Was the Wilson-Plame gambit nothing more than French retribution for Freedom Fries? It is clear relationship with the French took a hit that has never been recovered from when they stabbed us in the back in the UN over Iraq. But did the French plan to torpedo our plans by trying to convince [...]

Fitzgerald’s troubled witnesses began having issues on day one. The last thing you want to do in your first witness is prove the oppositions argument that the witnesses are muddled, changed their stories and have no solid recollection of events and details critical to the case. And what you really don’t want is [...]

Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald opened his case against Libby with the blessed ignorance of one with no clue he is in over his head. The opening remarks were telling. Fitzgerald is claiming Libby lied about the outing of Valerie Plame, when in fact Fitzgerald lied and submitted false claims to courts saying he needed [...]

I am hoping that everyone who watched the presidential address also watched Jim Webb’s speech. I understand why the Democrats chose Webb to give their response, since his win caused their party to take the majority in the Senate, but why didn’t they screen his speech. He started off contradicting himself by stating that opposing [...]

Practice does improve the skills. And as Bush delivered his second to the last SOTU it is evident that he has become much better at communicating his vision, while he positions his opponents into untenable positions. I worked froom 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM so this will have to be brief, and no doubt [...]

The 2008 Presidential Race is top of the news, leaving me to find something else to focus on since I could care less about the 2008 race right now. And whatever is said today will be irrelevant by next year (let alone next month). But it is interesting to see the Democrats fracture [...]

See Scaramella addendum at end
Folks are making a lot out of the fact Mario Scaramella, a documented con man who has a history of making up stories as fact, claims he knows something about the location of the Po-210 spill in the Itsu sushi restaurant. The same restaurant where he and Litvinenko met on [...]
