The Litvinenko story was DEAD in the water. ITS OLD NEWS but then fighting ramps up in Ukraine and yesterday Russia gets downgraded:
UPDATE 3-S&P downgrades Russia's sovereign credit rating to junk | Reuters
Then:
Alleged Russian spy arrested in New York City - CNN.com
Then:
BBC News - Alexander Litvinenko 'killed on third attempt'
And you see all sorts of Russia stories floating around again. It's so obvious anti-Russia propaganda is being ramped up and BBC is part of that machinery... they have NOTHING Russian to talk about but Litvinenko.
