Waiting for disclosure

Yukos

This afternoon I realized that I haven’t thought about Litvinenko in weeks.
One of the last interesting articles – at least as far as I know -- appeared last month in the NY Times: “Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office on Wednesday produced a startling new twist in the investigation of the killing of Alexander V. Litvinenko, the former K.G.B. officer who died in London in November of radiation poisoning. It announced that it was investigating the possible involvement of former executives of Yukos Oil, the company dismantled by a prosecutorial assault last year.
In a statement released Wednesday evening, the prosecutor’s office said its investigation indicated a link between the poisoning of Mr. Litvinenko and criminal cases under way against Yukos executives. It singled out Leonid B. Nevzlin, a major shareholder and partner of the company’s jailed chief executive, Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky.”

I would love to visit Khodorkovsky in Siberia.

Arnon: this is the only way I know of to to reach you. The website you write for - Words Without Borders, apparently applies strict censorship. In reaction to your posting on Identities and Loyalties I had sent a comment with a link to an excerpt of Van Gogh's controversial film Submission. It has, as of yet, not been greenlit. As you're an advocater of freedom of speech, I felt you should know.

Just read in Humo about your hotel in Buenos Aires. If I am correct, the manager’s name is Basil, the assistant Manuel is from Barcelona and the hotel is called Fawlty Towers. And you go back there? As we, in Dad’s Army, would say, with all respect: “Good Heavens Sir, you must be either a fool or a very brave man�?.
Interesting voyage indeed. Siberia will do too.
