Perhaps we should be less critical in our blog...


...I don't want to be poisoned or shot!

Federal and local law enforcement officials in the United States are investigating the shooting of a U.S. expert on Russian intelligence. Two men shot Paul Joyal near his home in a Washington suburb on March 1. The identity of the shooters is unknown. Joyal survived the shooting and is in a hospital in critical condition. The shooting occurred four days after Joyal said in a television interview that Russian President Vladimir Putin's government was involved in the death of former Russian security-services officer Aleksandr Litvinenko. In the interview, Joyal accused the Kremlin of participating in a conspiracy to silence its critics. Litvinenko, a Kremlin critic, died in London in November after being poisoned with polonium-210. Joyal, a Washington-based consultant, is known for his expertise on the former Soviet Union.
