Perhaps They Protest Too Much

[Ken Hanly]

Well I just used Russian sources from Johnson's Russia journal. I hate Putin
but love Russians.:)
These are specal forces operating as advisors etc. if they are there. None
of the material represents anything I have said except the title. So go
blame the Russians who are paranoid Russophobes not me.

Cheers, Ken Hanly
