Some of the suspects are related to the lists of terrorism financiers published in the United States. Kudrin is attending the Group of 20 meeting of finance ministers and central bank heads. "Russia is actively exchanging information with other countries. [The information] helps eradicate the financing of international terrorism and is related to the lists that were made public in the United States," he said. After Russia's information was confirmed, several people were arrested, he said. Putin has turned out to be a better ally than Pakistan, Soddy Arabia — and France. |

| #1 Now that communisim is gone, The russians have no good reason to oppose the United States where their interests are not in conflict with ours. They opposed us in the UNSC with regard to Iraq because cash was involved, and they're really hard up in that area. I can't remember if they were straight with us in that area, but if they were, then they're a lot better than France, who had the same reason, but did a lot of moral posturing to cover that up. |
