The whole way he was killed has been so convoluted even for a spec ops assasination.
They guy had been in the UK for 5 years. Previous to that he'd written his book. Why now? Hardly anyone in the UK knew who this guy was until a week ago, it wasn't like his stuff was doing the rounds in the general public in the news every few days.
I think this has got more to do with the Russian mafia than the Kremlin. I'd even go so far as saying that maybe it was done because whoever did it new the fingers would immediately jump to point at Putin. Now who in the UK has an axe to grind against Putin, Berezovsky, I woldn't put it past that sum'bitch to do something like that.

No - it is not blown out of proportion by any means. You have a man who is ordered to kill opposition members of Putins party leave the KGB for that very reason and seek assylum in the UK. You have an ex-KGB agent who is investigating the assasination of a female journalist who was investigating the Putin administration herself. You now have a dead ex-KGB agent poisoned and dead from something that could 'only' come from a nuke reactor since it is not found in nature in significant quantities, and is still 'rare' in a nuke reactor. It is not something your mob person can buy you might say.
The high profile of the case and the poison used was not meant to be secret, but it was meant for other opposition people to get a message - this will happen to you if you speak negatively about Putin. Plain and simple.
It doesn't take rocket science to figure out that the fallout from this little manuver is going way out further than the Putin administration had figured however. This is the part that you are saying is blown out of proportion. It is the same part the Putin administration didn't bank on.
Such is the way of life - unpredictable. Sorry for not being politically correct - I gave up on PC long ago, and maybe this is what Putin was banking on - the West to be 'PC' about it and for it all to go away.
