The Kremlin's denial of involvement was complicated by the discovery that former Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar, a Putin critic, had fallen ill in Ireland the day after Litvinenko died. Gaidar has since tested negative for radiation poisoning. But Litvinenko's wife and an Italian security analyst who met him at the sushi restaurant the day he fell ill have tested positive for radioactivity...

...names to make that happen. But Blair has advised, cajoled and beseeched George W. Bush to take such a role scores of times since 2001, without result. Bush once promised he was "willing to expend the same amount of energy in the Middle East" as Blair has in Northern Ireland, but that was bunkum. First because of Yasser Arafat, now because of Hamas' electoral strength, Bush has been deeply skeptical of dealing with Palestinians. He is less critical of Israel than his predecessors and has not wanted to risk his reputation in the kind of negotiating marathon that ultimately defeated...
