 Expert on Soviet Intelligence Shot in Adelphi

   Federal and local law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting in Prince George's County that critically injured a prominent intelligence expert who specializes in the former Soviet Union.

    Paul Joyal, 53, was shot Thursday, four days after he alleged in a television broadcast that the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin was involved in the fatal poisoning of a former KGB agent in London. ...

    ...Several sources confirmed that FBI investigators are looking into the incident because of Joyal's background as an intelligence expert and his comments about the Alexander Litvinenko case.

    Joyal was shot by two men in the driveway of his house in the 2300 block of Lackawanna Street in Adelphi about 7:30 p.m. Thursday. ...

    The identity of the shooters was unknown, and Prince George's police released few details about the incident. But sources close to the investigation and to Joyal said two men accosted Joyal as he stood in the driveway of his home, then shot him once in the groin.

Time to dust off the cold war.

Way past time, actually.

I was thinking the same thing.   Are planets colliding?!  Actually...there's some big astrological thing happening, but I can't wrap my head around that stuff for more than 3 seconds before I get really irritated.   

Anyway, what struck me about this article is that usually, in the past (Cold War era) this did not happen in the USA, did it? It happened in Bulgaria, places like that.  And now, they feel free enough to come here and shoot this man.
