It\’s more or less official now: Alexander Litvinenko was murdered in a \”\’state sponsored\’ assassination.\” This comes as no suprise, but it makes one wonder just what the British authorities plan to do about it. The only thing I know of that they could probably do would be to take it to the Hague and try to get the international courts to prosecute the case. However, the international courts (being generally useless and indended for publicity attacks against the United States) probably will do nothing about it. Technically, government assassination on foreign territory is probably an act of war, but I highly doubt that Britain will push things far enough to even start mentioning that.
