Why do I get the feeling this was manufactured by Putin to garner some sympathy before the vote...
Methinks they've been watching a number of groups for a while now and, when needed, leaned on the Ukrainians to
pick up a few at a convenient moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the explosion and the most recent arrestees are not
even connected.
Yeah, smells like a put-up job.

And yet, Stagger, you preserved the original for posterity.
Well done.
Yeah, sorry. :-[ Got called away from Keyboard for too long to edit m'self. Now it's too late.
I was out drinking with a bunch of Russians I met in the hotel last night. They were all of the opinion that this was a staged event to garner support for Putin. They also all think the election is a foregone conclusion.
(and man can they drink! And man do they loooove to talk politics when they get stuck into their bottles. They all think this whole WMD thing in Syria is manufactured, just like Iraq and the above-mentioned Putin thing and can't understand how the American public is falling for it again. Not even going to get into their views on Iran...)
They sound like switched on people those russains, more and more the people are seeing those grand storys in the media (im loathe to use the word "news") as fabricated nonsence for the benifit of the weathly and powerful.

Like Iraq, there are many reasons beyond WMD for wanting to overthrow Assad.
