| #6 I don't find this to be credible at all. First you have the Russians, notorious big spenders that they are. Then the ever reliable Taliban who won't even keep any recognizable agreement with their co-religionists much less people they are religiously sanctioned to lie, cheat, and steal from. So the entire set up strains the imagination. But if the practical limitations aren't enough it's being reported by the NYT. |

| #3 /\ Yes, I believe I saw at least one piece of UNCLAS traffic that indicated Salisbury-Skripel was a 29155 job. It's certainly in their available product line. At the time I suspected a Porton Down (PD) disgruntled employee or do-it-yourself home chem-bio project. The proximity of the incident to PD was in fact a coincidence. |

| #2 Isn't GRU's Unit 29155 the one accused of The Salisbury Poisonings (which became a BBC Drama)? |

| #1 report said the payoffs started in March no USA fatalities since feb intel came from captured Taliban who may have been lied to by their handler or why have been wishful thinking |
