Department of Washington Brilliance- Voice Of America Quits Broadcasting to Russia Ten Days Before Their Invasion of Georgia

"Ten days before Russian tanks and infantry invaded the democratic and pro-Western Republic of Georgia, the federal government’s Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) terminated all Voice of America (VoA) radio broadcasts to Russia, The Washington Examiner has learned. This means that throughout the still unfolding international crisis, a key communications tool that helped win the Cold War for the United States has been mute."

Sigh!!!!!

Much more here on this huge mess up
