Q Today Secretary Rice said that the world would soon know what the Russians did, how they did it; it was sort of a veiled reference, it seemed, to ethnic cleansing. Today Lithuania and Poland have both come out and accused the Russians of carrying out ethnic cleansing. And I know that Georgia has also filed a complaint; Russia has filed a counter-complaint. What's -- does the United States have any evidence to back up any of these allegations?

MR. JOHNDROE: We have reports, unfortunately, from both sides, because you have charges from both sides. That's a serious charge, and we take it seriously and are looking into the matter. I think it's clear this was an ugly conflict on the ground as it flared up a few days ago. And we take these charges seriously and are going to look into them.

Yes, ma'am.
