Apparently, he was looking into the recent murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who had been a fervent critic of the Kremlin’s actions in Chechnya. Litvinenko fell ill soon thereafter, and less than three weeks later he died of poisoning at the intensive care unit of the University College Hospital in London.

But advocates of NLWs tend to ignore one resulting danger: their users are likely to become more trigger-happy...
