Hmmm... you are right, I am supposing too much. Being caught in possession of recipes for poison, plus poison itself (allegedly), plus plans to release cyanide on the underground (allegedly), and other incriminating evidence... I guess he could have been about to change his mind and just make tea cakes for a church festival. Add to that killing a policeman, trying to kill several others, I suppose you still think there's a chance he is an all-round nice guy with honourable intentions...?

I prefer to think that someone who manufactures ricin is doing so for one purpose only... to use it as a poison. And if you need absolute proof of his intentions then the only sure proof is to see how far he would go. Big price to pay, don't you think?

But let's try your logic: how far do YOU think he would have gone?

Whilst we are on the subject, I never met Saddam either... still pretty sure he would have gone from bad to worse though. Would you doubt that too? And how about Hitler? Was he about to turn the corner and stop decimating thousands upon thousands of Jews? It's just that I never knew these people, so I can't be sure...
