Since the KGB is supposed to have been the least ideologically, most competent and most patriotic part of the Sov gov., it might even be a plus.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><o:p>*</o:p><o:p></o:p> Well, this whole discussion is quickly becoming academic – the actions against the company and Khordorkovsky have endedboth in a sense. The company will exist for a long time to come,its primary purpose to function as some kind of revenue stream for the Kremlin (something on par as Gazprom). Khordorkovsky will lose everything – remember his shares in the company are paper – it’s the oil in the ground that makes him wealthy – he has lost that. The greatest rags to riches to rags story in history. (I don’t feel sorry for him either). <o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>As for your weird worship of the KGB, good to hear you got a new visa. The next visa for the both of us became a lot harder as of last Saturday. How you can call these people competent is terrifying. You need to get a TV – the thugs hardly looked competent. Chris, what do you suppose the FSB found searching Khordorkovsky daughter’s primary school records? Even duringthe Soviet period lawyers defending clients weren’t hauled in for questioning by the KGB. The list of what has happened over the past few months is long and disturbing. I suggest youmake yourself as legal as possible, I am. <o:p></o:p></TT></PRE></TT></PRE></TT></PRE><PRE> </PRE></DIV><hr SIZE=1> Do you Yahoo!?
