OCTOBER
23, 2006 --
Russian
President Putin was challenged by The Washington Post, in its lead
editorial, October 21, for not having found after two weeks, the
murderer of a Russian journalist, sharply critical of his Chechnya
policy.
Mr. Putin has also attracted attention for apparently making light of rape
charges against the president of Israel.
LPR wonders -- just wonders if, some years ago, Russian President Boris Yeltsin
was asked, while he was taking
an English lesson, about his candidate to be the next Russian leader and began
his answer by saying "Put in...," -- then immediately fell asleep
before completing his response.
