The extent of an apparent plot to poison Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine's opposition leader, and then cover up the evidence now reaches across Europe.
Soon after Yushchenko first claimed he had been poisoned, President Leonid Kuchma's son-in-law engaged a French public relations team to initiate a media campaign, centered on a Vienna clinic, calculated to disparage the poisoning accusations, the newspaper said.
Yffic Nouvellon of EuroRSCG and his public relations team arranged a press conference where Lothar Wicke, general manager of Vienna's Rudolfinerhaus Clinic, contradicted Yushchenko's poisoning allegations.
Nouvellon also contacted international media offering "evidence" Yushchenko had not been poisoned. When asked during the media campaign, Nouvellon denied any connections to Kuchma's family.
The clinic's president has since cut its ties to Nouvellon and EuroRSCG and confirmed that Yushchenko was poisoned with the most powerful form of dioxin, TCDD, notorious from its use by U.S. forces in the Vietnam War in the defoliant Agent Orange, Sky News said.

Bowl me over with a feather.
The French involved with crushing freedom.
Someone remind me again why we don't put France of the state-sponsors-of-terroism list?
As if we didn't hate all things French enough...
The French are involved?
Sock lay blue!
And to think my grandfather almost died trying to save their ungracious butts during the Great War....
The son-in-law is the Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk. Notably he's pals with George Soros and Wesley Clark. Goggle 'em.
It's quite a tangled web.
BTW, is Soros making noise about freedom in the Ukraine as he did for Georgia and such?
There is such a thing as the law of unintended consequences. Thus there is a good chance that Soros and sorosites would speedily become irrelevant to the things on the ground. One should not attach too much importance to him. As an example, Ross Perot was very prominent 12 yrs ago, but now he is just a footnote.
FCUK - French Connection UKraine! :=)
And to think my grandfather almost died trying to save their ungracious butts during the Great War....
The problem is that many preferred the Nazis.
ribbit
great war is WWI...He was almost killed at St. Etienne in 1918, but kept his head while wounded and did something to save his men (he would never tell my mother about it, but the French government gave him the Croix de Guerre with Oak cluster for it...I've been tempted to send it back more than once)
This is a misleading headline. It's interesting, but the French were not involved in poisoning Yuskemeno(sp).
At least it's better then the old days when NYTimes persons would giddly write down anything the Stalinists said.
LOL - where did you find that! Priceless! (o:
The French are a funny race.
They fight with their feet. (RUN)
And ____ with their face. (SURRENDER)
I need to go see the first 10 minutes of Team America again.

Good!
When Viktor Yushchenko is officially elected and takes office, he can declare war on France and drop a dozen or so specops.
France will immediately surrender, and a lot of the problems of the Free World will be eliminated.
