<< Pravda took it upon themselves to reprint my work without my permission. >>

There seems to be some discrepancy between your account and Bill White's.

Pravda's former U.S. correspondent Bill White claims here and here that you were instrumental in forcing his resignation -- that you bombarded Pravda.ru's editors with angry letters and threatened to pull your columns in protest against their hiring of White.

All of this implies that you did indeed have some sort of editorial relationship with Pravda.ru.

Granted, White is not the most reliable source. But I'd like to know, for the record, whether you are calling him a liar.

I never gave my permission to Pravda to reprint my work. But if I spent my time tracking down and contacting every internet site that followed suit I wouldn't have time to write anything. When I discovered my articles on Pravda, next to articles by this Bill White nutball, I did contact Pravda and asked them what is up. They claimed to have received permission -- but not MY permission. They then ceased reprinting my stuff. Case closed.

It's weird. You would think that, if you're going to try to portray me as an "enemy agent," you'd at least come up with some evidence that I'm somehow tied to Bagdhad -- not Moscow. You seem to have slipped into a time warp, Richard: the cold war is over, communism is no more, and accusing someone of being an "agent of the Kremlin" is only apt to make people wonder WHY on earth you're wearing that tinfoil hat.....
