It has been lonely out here battling against the tide of presumption that Alexander Litvinenko was murdered in London 2006 and the most likely suspect was Andrei Lugovoi. Another tidal wave of propaganda was unleashed by an interview with the former Director of Public Prosecutions Lord Macdonald of River Glaven published in The Sunday Times of October 2.

Our coverage has now been corroborated by William Dunkerley, a contributor to the scholarly web site, Russia: Other Point of View. A media business analyst and consultant based in New Britain, CT, Mr. Dunkerley works extensively with media organizations in Russia and other post-communist countries, and has advised government leaders on strategies for building press freedom and a healthy media sector.  In 2007 he was commissioned by the organizers of the World Congress of the International Federation of Journalists to study and report on media coverage of the Litvinenko poisoning. His forthcoming book, "The Phony Litvinenko Murder," will both reflect upon and update his findings.

His article, which separates the facts from the propaganda is here.
