Moscow
Russian diplomats and journalists were horrified this week at an erroneous report on the official Kremlin Web site that said Russia had agreed to let the U.S. inspect its nuclear sites. Kremlin.ru posted the text of the agreement on nuclear safety that President Bush and President Vladimir Putin signed at their summit in Slovakia last week. But, as Moscow’s Kommersant reported, the Kremlin version contained a paragraph about U.S. access to Russian military facilities that was not in the version posted on the White House Web site. The Kremlin immediately took the document down, saying it was an early, draft version of the agreement. Russian commentators, however, speculated that the two leaders might have made a secret deal.
