Inspector Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Horrible news. :(I wonder if the "this sounds fishy" movement will become a no fact conspiracy theory... before actual facts are sorted out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMason Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 When I read the story, the first thought in my mind was, I wonder what he did to piss off Putin? I hope that's not the case though. It would be nice if the world had moved beyond govts. assassinating people like that. After the flak the Israeli's got for that killing in Dubai, I'd like to think that other govts. will think twice before doing something similar.
