Good find, it is always good to know the rest of the story.
You know,I believe you are right.I thought Bush's security team NOT allowed into the dinner was DAMN suspicious.
Makes you wonder what kind of "back channel" communications that went on after that fiasco!

Yushenko is the new Rasputin. For those unfamiliar, Rasputin was a corrupted monk who was closely tied to the czar or Russia before his overthrow by the communists in 1918. He was close to the czar's family due to his apparent power to heal their son's hemophiliac condition. The Czar tried multiple times to kill him through poisoning and other ways after he fell out of favor with the royalty but they couldn't kill him and he survived numerous attacks. He was finally killed and he said before his death that if he were killed by the czar that terrible things would befall the czar and after he died the czar and his whole family wound up being overthrown and then executed.

But the big difference is that Yushchenko prevailed over his "czar" Putin
