And his various nefarious trips behind the iron curtain..... never explained.....setting up a safe house in Prague I bet.
I happened to be living in West Berlin in 1968, as an Air Force wife. Travel to Eastern Europe and Russia was not done on a lark, as so many reporters apparently think. It was very different from how travel to those countries is done today.
You had to get a visa from the country you were visiting. The Communist countries didn't let you just waltz across the borders for sightseeing. Anyone traveling in a Communist country was limited in where they could go. The governments sent "minders" with the few tourists they had, and tourists were kept from having too much contact with citizens.
Clinton went to Russia with the permission of the Soviet government. Ditto Prague. He was watched the whole time, and any contacts he made were with the approval of those governments. He wasn't just some wide-eyed rube eyeballing the sights. He went there with a purpose, and I want to know what it was.
If Putin wants to help President Bush, I am certain that there are records of that trip buried somewhere in the Kremlin.
