Poland's finance minister Jacek Rostowski has attacked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for encouraging governments to engage in excessive "stimulus" in 2009 ...the finance ministry said the measures the central bank proposed to meet Poland's obligations towards IMF, were "inappropriate"... great find uranian...two thumbs up! this IS to me, the official explanation. ( as well as a warning shot to any others cosidering such anti imf behavior. don't know if Rostowski was one of those killed in the crash, but there's apparently already damage control going on. some interesting quotes from the telegraph blog: Polish National TV has already reported journalists’ cameras have been confiscated by the Russian military. One reporter who was interviewed said that there was no fog when the plane attempted to land.
