Yuschenko isn’t interested in finding out who tried to murder him until after the election.

“I don’t want this factor to influence the election in some way – either as a plus or a minus,” Yuschenko said in Russian as he left the clinic and headed back to Kiev.“This question will require a great deal of time and serious investigation. Let us do it after the election – today is not the moment.”
Maybe it’s just me, but I think if someone tried to kill me, I’d want to know who it was. Also, I’m trying to imagine how an investigation would affect the election. It’s kind of central to the election already, isn’t it?
