Repost about the Polonium/Arafat thing because I think this is important.

I am going to call for strong skepticism on this story.

The reason is that the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006 was done with Polonium 210.

Polonium 210 has a half life of 184 days. I doubt very sincerely there would be enough of that left to get a good sample on by any laboratory eight years later.

Further, if enough of it was on his clothes and in his urine and sweat to be discovered eight years later, like the report claims, others around him would have gotten ill from contacting his clothing or shaking his hand. That did not happen.

The whole point of using Polonium to take people out is that it decays so rapidly and takes so little to kill someone that it is very hard to trace.

I am going to call bullshit.
