Any evidence for the claim that Putin has either a bastard son, or that said fictional son's mother is a US citizen, will sell handomely to Russia's opposition. I recommend that CP sell it.

What's next? Chavez is a paedophile? Schroeder is a compulsive masturbator? Can I give them a "rather circumstantial account," backed by nothing, that Bush is a cannibal? Has CP ever heard of the notion of fact-cheacking?

CP does publish a lot of worthwhile stuff (yours included). But they have no quality control if they let that thing go through.
