Excellent Nightline last night on Ukraine, including the possibility that Yuschenko was poisoned. Koppel does his usual bangup job of showing both sides of the issue, including interviews with Ukrainians on both sides, Vladimir Posner's analysis of the situation (and the old man has gotten catty, now that he's free to speak his mind), an FBI toxicologist, and a UN election observer.
There are links off the Nightline web page, here--
http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/--but the Reuters links off the Nightline page aren't nearly equal to the coverage. Worth trying to get a videotape, if you missed it.
intrigued
Good to see Posner again and talking to Koppel.
Posner's book was a good peek into someone around IK's generation.
There's been some good bloggage of the poisoning coverage at Orange Ukraine, if you haven't seen it.
Thanks for the link!
And OMG, Yuschenko has totally been poisoned. Who did it and with what toxin, I don't know. But good godfrey cambridge, the man is clearly a victim of chemical terrorism.
ra-ra-Rasputin....
and here I am writing a book with ricin pellets in it and thinking "It's nice to know the state of the art has advanced." :-P
