The death of Alexander Litvinenko on 23 November 2006 and the statesponsored forensic investigations that followed, reveal troubling truths about assassination discourse in the 21st century. These truths present a daunting challenge to any “general theory of assassination” and cast doubt on the utility of science as an objective arbiter of political truth. Although we can anticipate an increase in the use of science and scientists in these forensic investigations, we can also predict a growing public distrust of scientific investigations conducted under the auspice of political authority. This distrust will be evidenced by interminable “assassination discourse” marked by endless debate over alternative theories publicized by the mass media.
