That wouldn't be surprising, either, I'm sorry to say. The original story sounded very odd. When I first heard it, I thought that it might have been remotely possible that some overzealous Ossetian militiaman took a pot shot at the other side, but I didn't think the incident was important. If this new report is true and Saakashvili is so desperate that he's staging attacks on visiting leaders, it makes me wonder what else he might be willing to do. Thanks for the link.

According to leaks from a report by the Polish Intelligence Service, Sunday's "attack" on Sakaashvili and Kaczynski near the border with South Ossetia was staged by the Georgians for propaganda purpose. The MSM outside Poland does not seem to have reported this story yet, which is no surprise since it does not fit the good-Georgian bad-Russian narrative. http://blog.macleans.ca/2008/11/26/georgiarussia-heres-a-thought-%E2%80%94-could-we-please-not-give-psychopaths-an-express-ticket-into-nato/ Not on topic, but you might want to look at this story.
