I have a real problem with vision2020 being used to float wild rumors.
"Because I heard it" seems to me the weakest possible excuse for passing
on rumor as though it were fact.

Moscow will be a better place if we make up or pass on ugly lies about the
Police Dept.? That just doesn't compute. This is the second time the
Moscow Police Dept. has been accused of serious malfeasance on Vision2020
and each time a number of us have been quick to assume that the police
must be guilty.

I'm ashamed of us. We CAN do better.
