(Russian Reform) - '..the Magnitsky Act is exactly the right thing to do.'

<blockquote>'If Putin were truly serious about dramatically improving Russia’s reputation as a place to do business, there would be no better way than to make an example of those officials who used their power to defraud a foreign investor and the Russian government, killed the man who attempt to fight this crime, and also to punish those in power who are to this day protecting the perpetrators-and continuing to torture Magnitsky’s family with Kafkaesque legal proceedings.

But Putin does exactly the opposite. He rages at a US initiative that does what Putin should be doing if he were actually serious about fighting corruption and official crime in Russia. That reaction says very clearly that the Magnitsky Act is exactly the right thing to do.'
