#2 As you mentioned yesterday, Colonel Skripal sat in a Russian prison for years. He could have succumbed, with no great fanfare, to any number of illnesses during those years. The Russian is a paranoid, loathsome creature, but he should not be blamed for everything.

I suspect the UK Defense Establishment and Porton Down have a USAMRIID, Bruce Ivins challenge before them. The proximity of PD to the crime scene is simply too coincidental.
