No problem. Unfortunately, the "Putin right or wrong" crowd has arrived.

I favor giving Putin the benefit of the doubt.  And if you didn't want me here, why did you freep-mail me with this URL?

I didn't say I didn't want you here. I was refering to a post further up. I ran into a post of yours that made me think you would be interested in the Pacepa article. Giving Putin the benefit of the doubt is a far different stance than the people I was referring to (although I would disagree with your stance, but at least your rational about it).
