Russia says Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will personally head the investigation into an aeroplane crash that killed Poland's president.
A total of 96 people were on board the plane that crashed near the western Russian city of Smolensk, all of whom are believed to be dead.
Polish president Lech Kaczynski was on board the Russian-built Tupolev 154 jet when it went down in heavy fog near a military airport.
Russian authorities have already said they suspect pilot error in the crash, near Smolensk, in Western Russia.
There are reports the jet made several attempted landings before the crash.
Also on board were leading members of Poland's political elite, including the army chief of staff and the governor of the central bank.
A scan of a list of 88 passengers aboard the plane published on a Polish government website showed the names of Poland's chief of staff, General Franciszek Gagor, and Major General Bronislaw, head of operational forces.
General Tadeusz Buk, head of land forces, air force commander Andrzej Blasik and special forces chief Wojciech Potasinki, as well as navy vice-admiral Andrzej Karweta, were also on the list.
They were part of an official delegation travelling to commemorate the massacre of thousands of Polish soldiers by soviet troops during the second world war.
This is bad and ugly and is going to get worse
We all need to pray for our country. Pray for Poland and the world. Pray for God to touch the hearts of evil men and to protect those that keep their faith and trust in our Lord.
Thank you for the link.
Thanks. I think a coup has occurred. Poland has been through so much over such a long time. And the poles are good and generous people. They don’t deserve what fate has handed them.
The world in which we currently live is basically indistinguishable from a Tom Clancy novel, and has been since 11 Sep 2001...

Ah, the old disappearing victims switcheroo. An old ploy, but still a reliable one.
No, you missed the first chapter:

That was pretty amazing, although it would have been better imho if the pipes had been allowed to play alone, without the brass band and orchestra behind them. Thanks for the ping to this though, it was beautiful.
Bump.

Russian State TV showed te Polish film 'Katyn' in prime time. Unprecedented.
On the surface, the Russians have been doing and saying all the right things.
And as I’ve said a lot recently, Putin is playing Chess, while Obama is playing Checkers.
Oh, I think he absolutely is. Who would do anything about it? Obambi?
His heading up the investigation fits the possibility perfectly.
I hold no particular liking for the Russians (I have a Polish wife), but it seems quite meaningful.
