American diplomats booted from Moscow
In what could be a bad sign of things to come as Dmitry Medvedev settles in as President, the State Department revealed yesterday that Russia has expelled two Americans from the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, though they offered no public explanation as to why.
From the International Herald Tribune: “No one at the State Department would speculate about the reasons for the expulsions, although the United States has reportedly expelled a handful of Russians in recent years in little-noted diplomatic dust-ups.”
