We all know how the Bond films have either been influenced by or have eerily paralleled real-life events, (i.e., Iran-Contra and Yurchenko and TLD, or Noriega and LTK or Murdoch and Maxwell's influence on Carver in TND). I wonder if this poisoned Russian spy story (http://news.independ...icle2013254.ece) might ever influence a future Bond plot?

One thread that I could see them following that has been in the news and scrutinized over the last couple of years is the financing of terrorism. Essentially, following the money. Seeing as how Vesper worked for the treasury, could it be possible that another mole might be within that agency? It's not out of the realm of possibility.
