Putin on terrorism: "To forgive them is up to God, but to send them to him is up to me' http://www.straitstimes.com/world/e...up-to-god-but-to-send-them-to-him-is-up-to-me
Of course Putin ordered it. Suppose a CIA agent were to expose a Presidents involvement in an assassination, coup, or some other significant clandestine event. Hell, just look at the efforts made to imprison Snowden. He would have been off limits to the public if captured. You think Nixon wouldn't have done the same thing if one of his inner circle was exposing what what was going on?
