this aside in the ny times article is particularly interesting:
Quote:
|
Outgoing President Leonid Kuchma had been pressing for an entirely new election, apparently in hopes of replacing Yanukovych with a stronger candidate.
|
and from the lead paragraph in the guardian story, which was apparently generated a little earlier in the day:
Quote:
|
Ukraine's Supreme Court on Friday retired to rule on opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko's appeal to cancel results of the disputed presidential election, and the parliament voted to pull the country's 1,600 troops out of Iraq.

i did not see anything about the parliamentary vote in the ny times article, which i think interesting as well. we'll see, i am sure, how the american right responds to this one.
