65 ‘Under the Guise of Elections’

Many thanks to Petroushka for alerting me to what has to be my favorite quote of the year so far:

“We will not allow the seizure of power under the guise of presidential elections.”

—Stepan Sukhorenko, head of the KGB secret service in Belarus, as reported in The Times, March 17, 2006.
