Vladimir Putin can make this statement thanks exclusively to the Bush/Cheney Admininstration.

[A]sked about the 10 Russian “sleeper agents” caught in the US in June and later deported to Moscow. Putin claimed that they had not harmed US interests, adding: “The methods employed by our special services differ in a good way from those used by US special services. Thank God, neither the agents in question or any other Russian intelligence officers are known to have been involved in creating secret prisons, kidnappings, or torture.”

So the question again remains: When will this nation have the courage to clear its good name and indict our homegrown war criminals?
