Did Putin turn on the microphone?

[Contrary1]

This reporter seems to think so.

"...Scrolling through the tape - we sought the point at which Bush's private thoughts begin to be broadcast to the world.

And yes at the moment the sound comes on, Vladimir Putin is sat smiling wryly at his seat, you can't see his hands, but the red light on his microphone lights up, indicating that it was the source of the recording.

The old tricks of an ex-KGB agent. Surely not? An electrical fault perhaps? Maybe a harmless practical joke? See the video for yourself >>here

My best guess? A Russian president who's been on the receiving end of the odd lecture from western leaders about Russian democracy, has just made a pretty effective point about transparent government."

2. I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised! I'd also be laughing with him!

In one way, I'm so ashamed he is the Leader of the US! But on the other side, I think it's very funny he is seen by the Americans & the World as an arrogant slob who doesn't even know how to behave in public!!!!
