Putin covering tracks -- confiscating books which showed he faked bombings

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1503&e=1&u=/afp/russia_fsb_literature

Check it out. And we wondered why Bush thought he and Putin were kindred spirits.

Evil minds think alike.

Be sure to rate the story. It dropped right off of Yahoo in about 30 seconds after being rated a pure 5.0 when I saw it.

1. Only 47 votes so far (noon Dec 30)

Which media - US or Russia - is more controlled?

In Russia book is published and media notes Gov takes books.

In US media refuses to review books that say Bush Knew something was about to happens, and book stores do not carry.

And the difference in control is what?

2. I suppose most of us had suspected as much

Interesting to see the story on Yahoo.
More interesting is that nobody will care.

4. when I first signed on it was the top story

When I decided to post it, like ten minutes later, it was completely gone.

I had to go into my history to find the link.

It never ceases to amaze me how evil is allowed to flourish all over the world and people will somehow put a 'politics as usual' face on it. How can people turn a blind eye to what is going on all around them? How much rubble from bombed out buildings and dead bodies do you have to trip over before the truth finally hits you in the face? How many elections will be stolen, how many young men and women will die for a president's blood lust for oil, how many books will get banned or burnt, how many children will die this beautiful, sunny December day because they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time in history?
