Patt,

You missed a few articles I posted on the subject.  I might be one of 
"these folks" myself, a living proof.  One of the articles was posted 
about a week ago, others within last couple of months.

So what?  During the Vietnam war a big truck factory was built in the 
USSR with the help of American auto companies.  Does it mean that Ford 
cooperates with the KGB?  Or perhaps it would be wise to say that those 
who cooperate with the Soviets do not exactly understand the Soviet 
system?  Thirty years spent in Moscow and eight in Boston make me think 
that the latter is the case.
