[lbo-talk] Khodorkovsky's mea cupla

[Dwayne Monroe]

>From this distance, it's difficult to know what to
make of something like this which might be evidence of
-- 

a.) a curious attempt to create a dis-information
campaign of sorts in which a ghost writer crafts the
character of a repentent oligarch (almost Dostoevskian
in nature) 

b.) Khodorkovsky's an adaptable fellow who sees his
situation clearly and acts accordingly (when on top of
the world act like a big shot, when you're at the
bottom of the heap experience a necessary conversion)

c.) He really has re-thought the whole robber barron
project and feels genuine remorse for merely acquiring
wealth instead of 'creating wealth' for the greater
society.


Whichever story is true, it's a very interesting turn
of events.
