eta: Why distrust the guy? Dig a little and you come up with stuff like this:

"Putin's role in the blatantly misleading information issued by the government about the Chechnya offensive also has been criticized. His talent for creating legends has been evident in his explanations about the war. For example, Putin told the writers group that the military had been open with the news media, when the military has in fact hidden information about casualties, combat events, attacks on civilians and its goals and methods."

But if you can believe that we needed to invade Iraq to get to Al Qaeda, then you can also believe that the former head of the KGB just has our best interests at heart.
