The 2nd annual 2010 Oslo Freedom Forum kicked off last week in the Norwegian capital, in an opulent hotel that played host to an impressive list of political dissidents and human rights activists—Garry Kasaparov, Lech Walesa, Anwar Ibrahim—and, coincidentally, the Russian Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev and his FBS entourage. Michael C. Moynihan attended the conference and spoke about Texas rodeos with Chechen rebels, Obama's parentage with former Soviet dissidents, and ransacked rooms with Russian democracy activists.
