Q: ... is this a man that Americans can trust?
PRESIDENT BUSH: I will answer the question. I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy. We had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of his soul; a man deeply committed to his country and the best interests of his country.

Well, if you substitute "country" for
"siloviki" and "trustworthy" for "trustworthy in his own circles of gangsters and hitmen", Bush has got it right.
