Its odd, but even us neo-con-straussians, as much as we like Perle, are willing to give Putin the benefit of the doubt. Or at least some of us are.
There's just something about an Aqua Velva man...

I'd imagine getting tossed in jail and waiting until December to find out what charges the State wishes to bring would garner some sympathy.

It's very much like if we gave NASA to a businessman who stripped off a lot of its assets, and now wants to sell whats left to the Chinese.

I think he has been told what the charges against him might be. This is Russia, and not an episode of Law & Order.

Saturday October 25, 7:59 PM Russia charges YUKOS boss with fraud, tax evasion MOSCOW, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The head of Russia's biggest oil firm YUKOS , Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was charged on Saturday with six counts of fraud and tax evasion, a spokeswoman for the General Prosecutor's office said.You probably don't know what the meaning of "is" is either. By the way I don't watch Law & Order.
To: clockwork
Contrary to what RussianConservative says, no trial date has been set. He has a pre-trial hearing on Dec. 30th. As for the charges he faces, lets just say that they can be "adjusted" at the whim of the prosecution. Meanwhile, he sits in jail.

Anton Drel, Mr Khodorkovsky's lawyer, said seven charges against him, including fraud and tax evasion totalling $1bn, had been presented, though not in the usual form of a legal document, and said elements of these demonstrated that their action was politically motivated. Financial Times, October 27, 2003
Mr. Drel, you will remember, had his office raided and his documents seized by the FSB. There is a whole lot more going-on here than both of us know, and certainly more than the state-run media in Russia is reporting.

no trial date has been set.First you said there were no charges, now its no trial date...quit moving the goal posts. No trial date has been set in the Kobe Bryant case either...what's your point.
To: clockwork
My point is that you assume that the legal system in Russia is similar to that of the US. It's difficult to imagine someone comparing Khodorovsky's case with Bryant's without bursting-out in laughter. (Unless Bryant has made the argument that his prosecution is politically-motivated, his lawyer's office has been raided, and he's sitting in jail without being formally charged).

Russia is the only country to treat oligarchs like that? I guess Perle did not see trial of Martha Stewart, right?
