Re: Roy Medvedev interview (on Putin)

Wow.  I have not seen a threat degenerate so fast before.  Both Lou and Ken should
cool it.

I invited Chris here because he does have a lot of information on Russia.  I do not
share his views about Putin, but I still learn from him.

People are welcome to disagree with him, but to announce you will not read his posts
or to call Lou an asshole won't work here!

I have not been able to sort out how the thread has gone in the last 12 hours; only
to see threads with lots of anger.
