Huffington Post uses LTDL to nail Bain's role in helping Big Tobacco Invade Russia

Today's Huffington Post has a detailed article using previously secret tobacco industry documents housed at the UCSF Legacy Tobacco Documents Library
to show how, under Mitt Romney, Bain played a key role in helping British American Tobacco and Philip Morris invade Russia.  This effort succeeded, leading to large increases in smoking (and smoking-induced disease).

Read the story at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/09/mitt-romney-bain-tobacco_n_1949812.html .

The story includes copies of several key documents and live links to many more.
