Do you think there is a direct link between Litvinenko's death and Mitrokhin's comission? To me it seems to be tangential. Mitrokhin's comission itself looks like a local witchhunt.

On Scaramella, he is not known in Russia, but I've seen comments on Russian side that he was working in Moscow and had access to the same open KGB archives every foreigner can get access to.

On Litvinenko, one thing to understand is this context is that he was not in a position to confirm or deny anyone's involvement in former KGB's foreign operations. He have not even seen the same archives Scaramella saw, did not work in any kind of spy business, and Goldfarb clearly states that when he tried to run to the US, he had nothing to offer in terms of information in exchange for settlement of his immigration case. UK was willing to take him as is.

At the moment I see no link between the Mitrokhin Commission activity and Litvinenko's death. Just as Scotland Yard we are in the realm of hypotheses.

I simply wish to report the controversial aspects of the Berlusconi commissions which includes of course the roles of ex-KGB/ FSB members.

What I find interesting is that two important interviews carried out last year have now been published- perhaps too controversial at the time, but now pertinent to an understanding of the Berlusconi regime.

I had a feeling it would all lead to Italy sooner or later. In a thread where the Polonium murder was discussed I remarked that "it feels like the whole world has turned into Italy" or somesuch.
