Belarus Orders Bush, Rice Assets To Be Frozen

"Laura, do we have any charge accounts open at the Belarus Wal-Mart?"

The move is a response to Washington's decision last week to impose sanctions, including a freeze on assets, against Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka and other officials deemed accountable for the fraud that Western governments believe marred presidential elections in March.
