First Phase Brainstorming.  Carefully read the case study “Who Poisoned Karinna Moskalenko?”  This case study is about a prominent Russian human rights lawyer who suffered from mercury poisoning days before she was to represent in court a Russian journalist known for her critical reporting. 

Given an almost 10-year record of claims by opponents &/or critics of the Russian government being poisoned, Ms. Moskalenko and the Western news media quickly attributed this incident to the Russian Government and concluded that she was the latest victim in a series of attacks by Russia on its critics.  REMEMBER THAT WE ARE INTELLIGENCE ANALYSTS.  Avoid a rush to judgment, even if what has happened seems obvious.  

I suggest that you read the case study from beginning to end (9 pages) and then read it a second time.  During the second reading of the case study come up with a list of questions that you believe need to be raised in order to answer the question of who poisoned Karinna Moskalenko.  Given the information in the case study, try to come up with at least six to eight questions; a few more if you can. You want to raise the questions that will get at the the additional information you need to be confident in a judgment of who poisoned Ms. Moskalenko.  For example, one question that I would ask is “Other than the Russian Government, are there any other people that would have wanted to harm Ms. Moskalenko?”
