...There existed another, real task force," explains Elena Milashina, Novaya Gazeta's investigative reporter, who did brilliant work on unraveling Beslan. "[It] was headed by the FSB [the heir to the KGB] from Moscow that had been preparing an assault right from the outset. Having the hostages released through negotiations did not meet their agenda, as set by the Kremlin...
...officials from Putin down spend a lot of their time fretting about corporate matters. "I was surprised to realize that the lion's share of our President's office work was detailed involvement in the daily life of our gas sector," Milov wrote in a Russian biweekly, Novaya Gazeta. "I felt that Putin personally handled a great deal of what Gazprom's ceo was supposed to do." Such confusion of roles finds its echo in Europe's approach to Russia. A green paper published by the European Commission in March called for a common external energy policy to coordinate relations...
...mention of an informer called Ketman, that Wildstein deduced his friend's involvement. Maleszka has made no public comment on the accusation. But according to Wildstein, he at first denied his involvement, then confessed after Wildstein went public with the accusation.

A headline in Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's leading daily, called it white fever. The more affluent Czechs have been slower to catch on, though by mid-April they, too, were hoarding sugar and rice. Is the panic justified? Yes and no. Prices for everything from cement to dry cleaning to bananas will...
...from Romania and 100 from Latvia, as well as about 1,200 from countries in Central America. The Multinational Division Central South will control - nominally, at least - 80,000 sq km and 3 million people in south-central Iraq. Will the force make a difference? The Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza called it "Babel in Babylon." Common military doctrine, equipment, even a shared language in this disparate "coalition of the willing" won't be possible. The numbers are a drop in the bucket compared to the 150,000 troops already deployed by the Americans, and don't pack the wallop...
