According to The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Kozak was in the midst of a somewhat justified rant about the Western media's tendency to focus on (sometimes fake) minor shortcomings rather than pay some notice to the dazzling, ultra-modern facilities Russia has created for the Games, when he veered into speculation that some foreign guests might be committing deliberate sabotage to make things look bad.
Then he is quoted as saying: "We have surveillance video from the hotels that shows people turn on the shower, direct the nozzle at the wall and then leave the room for the whole day."
Oops.
The Russians say it was a mis-translation and not an admission of camera surveillance.
Apparently, in Russian, "surveillance video from the hotels that shows people" sounds remarkably similar to "tortured confessions out of people who." So there.
I'll concede that a lot of the talk of shoddy facilities is mere RUMORINT. But, "oops," indeed.
