Charles McCarry on the Russian Poisoning Case in THE WASHINGTON POST




Charles McCarry penned a fictional Op-Ed for the Sunday Washington Post on the Litveneko assassination.

To: Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service

I hope you will not mind hearing from a confused old man who in the loneliness of his dacha thinks of you often -- especially in the past few days as a certain operation in London has undressed itself in the world press, and even in our own Russian news media. Now I read that the British police are in Moscow interviewing suspects in the assassination of the traitor A. Litvinenko, that the German police are calling this "the Third Man case" and that Interpol has entered the investigation. How fortunate we are that the police of Fiji are inactive for the moment because of a coup d'tat in their country!
