A lot more I'd like to add here, both on the Litvinenko story itself as developing and on various side-aspects ...   still thinking plus comments here have triggering off further lines of thought I'd like to throw into the mix, widen it out... but I've been kept way too busy today and by now I'm too tired to think straight ...so back tomorrow! ;-)
