WASHINGTON -- Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin told a congressional panel
Thursday that he suspected that much of the $4.8 billion in loans sent to Russia last
summer by the International Monetary Fund ''may have been siphoned off
improperly.''>>

Suspected??? I know he is a diplomate...:) Russians did not even make an effort to hide it..and why should they? They got aging nukes, hey got threat of "destabilizing" and starting massive refugee problem..and they do it again with next loan..
