Taking a lead from the Clintonistas ...

The Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal's "Best of the Web Today" carried this item in its March 7, 2005 issue:

The First One Was a Warning Shot

"The chief of Ukraine's security service said Saturday that the country's former interior minister, Yuri F. Kravchenko, had shot himself twice in the head on Friday, refuting speculation that he had been killed by someone else."--New York Times, March 6

The report in The New York Times goes on to say: "The official announcement and a note found in Mr. Kravchenko's pocket, the security chief added, left little doubt that Mr. Kravchenko had committed suicide."

Surprisingly enough, Ukrainian officials declined to release the suicide note. It's deja vu all over again! This has got me wondering whether former President Clinton's or the Navy's former spindoctors have found consulting opportunities in the Ukraine.
