Yuschenko was poisoned, definitively.
This appears to be fairly recent news, and all the other Ukraine topics have scrolled off the first page, so....here we go.
Yuschenko was poisoned with dioxin
No fancy biological agent, apparently, just good old-fashioned chemicals. So, now we just have to wait for the massive shitstorm that's sure to follow...

Yup, CNN has the same story. You only just beat me to it. And oh, boy will there be a shitstorm. I can't help but worry how involved Moscow is in all this. If they're involved, the shitstorm will be all the greater.

Fuckers. Does the KGB er Russian Secret Service use Dioxin, and how easily is that obtained. Like could a malicious cook have bought dioxin from a store to kill rats and slipped it in his soup?

It'd be bad enough if they just messed up his face, but his health has been completely destroyed. He had to have fluids drained out his back, large amounts of painkillers pumped into him just so he isn't incapacitated by pain, he's close to having several organs failing, and lots of other nasty things.
Poisoned. Damn. What can you say?

Tevar, to give you an idea of how badly they fucked this guy up, he was campaigning with painkilling drugs being inserted via a catheter set into his upper spine.

His face might get better. But Dixon is stored in your fatty tissue for very long periods and even if he improves, he's got an endless fuckload of complications and additional conditions to look forward too. Well, at least for him, he's proubabbly already had kids if he was ever goining to, and unlike all the Vietnam veterans doesn't have to worry about all the birth defects this stuff causes.

The world is going to need a little more than that before it acts against Putin. Why exactly would he be poisioning a Ukraine Oppostion Leader anyways?Nieztchean Uber-Amoeba wrote:

It's a rather short list of potential culprits.

Before we jump on the Putin-bashing bandwagon (for this specific case, anyway... there's plenty to bash Czar Vladimir for on other counts) remember that a lot of old KGB people ended up unemployed or moving to more lucrative freelance work in the wake of the fall of the USSR, so this could have been a freelance mercenary operation at the behest of the local Ukrainians, and hell, it could've even been an in-house op entirely.
I'll wager good money that even if Putin's people did have a direct hand in it the layers of deniability will be such that we'll never get an accurate picture. The lifespan of potential informants can easily be shortened, too.

Ukraine is a part of the CIS and would most likely be forced to leave the CIS if it want a chance to join the EU.
Therefor it would be advantageous for the Czar if Yushenko "got ill and died" with a swift cover-up about the cause of death. Not impossible when you consider the level of corruption in Ukraine.
Plus poisoning just screams "KGB!".

In other news, Putin was seen stuffing "revised" maps of eastern europe back into the closet...
