WHEN SPY AGENCIES CHOOSE NOT TO ACT SECRETLY.

WHEN SPY AGENCIES CHOOSE NOT TO ACT SECRETLY. In the first week of the blog, I posted here about the assassination in London by radioactive polonium of an enemy of the Kremlin. As I noted, it was the first post in which I successfully linked to an article. The article, in the New York Times, told how the victim had left traces of radiation in three places he had been to in London, causing great alarm. A year later I speculated here that the assassination plot was conspicuous by design. Now, reading about zersetzung confirms for me that the KGB likes to make some of its operations obvious.
