Russia’s annoyance with Western criticism of its rights record, and its perception that the U.S. is dominating world affairs, have also added to tensions. Washington says the deployment of interceptor missiles and radar systems in the Czech Republic and Poland will protect Europe and North America from new threats such as nuclear programs and long-range missiles from Iran and North Korea. But Moscow argues there is no immediate threat and claims the U.S. is trying to target Russia’s strategic missile arsenal. Hours after Putin and Rice traded long-distance barbs, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov added to the fi re in a lengthy diatribe that recalled the language of the Cold War. He accused the U.S. and its NATO allies of upsetting the security balance in Europe, creating new dividing lines and treating Russia as an enemy. “We cannot be unconcerned by the fact that NATO military infrastructure is creeping up to our borders,” Lavrov said at a news conference after a NATO-Russia meeting in Oslo. “They are still looking for an enemy.” However a Kremlin spokesman said later that Russia would not pull out if it could reach accommodation with the West. Russian military experts suggested the threat was a symbolic raising of the ante in the missile shield showdown more than a sign of impeding military escalation. Russia has no actual interest in a buildup of forces because it faces no real military threat and has no plans to launch any attack, they said. “When we begin dialogue with our foreign partners, we hope that we will get a positive reaction from them,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told The Associated Press. If no progress is made, Russian lawyers would begin working out a mechanism of formally imposing the moratorium, he added. NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said Putin’s threat elicited “grave 4 The Daily Gamecock ● FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 2007

Mock NFL draft All photos courtesy of The Associated Press & Cleveland Browns — Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma While the Browns have a need at quarterback, I don’t think Brady Quinn is 3worthy of a No. 3 pick. Cleveland brought in Jamal Lewis on a one- year contract, and he can mentor Peterson so that he can reach his full potential as one of the best backs in the draft since LaDainian Tomlinson. — Jonathan Hillyard Detroit Lions — Gaines2 Adams, DE, Clemson It’s about time the Lions make a sensible pick instead of throwing it away on offensive potential. Adams would make any defensive line better, especially one that gave up 18 rushing touchdowns last season. — Matt Moore

Oakland Raiders — JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU Russell is as close as a quarterback can come to being a can’t-miss pick. Scouts say that he can throw the ball through the goalposts from the 50-yard line while on1 his knees, and I believe it. This half-man, half-alligator from the bayou has the decision-making, arm strength, accuracy, foot speed and durability that it takes to make it in the NFL. There is no reason to not take him fi rst overall. — Michael Aguilar Tampa Bay — Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech The man is a freak of nature and easily the most talented prospect in this draft. If he hadn’t played with the worst quarterback in the history of college football,4 Reggie Ball, Johnson probably would’ve broken every conceivable receiving record. — Tom Benning

Arizona Cardinals — Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin Representing the Cardinals at the fi fth spot, I have a smile on my face when I see that 5 Joe Thomas is still available. One of the more Washington Redskins — Amobi Okoye, impressive things about Thomas is his quickness.

Okoye protect quarterback Matt Leinart. proved that he is man enough to play with6 the big uglies — Ed Cahill over the last four years of school. He was instrumental in Louisville stopping one of the most potent rushing attacks college football has seen in a long time last season in West Virginia. This is a great athlete who is going to be around for many more years. — Michael Aguilar Atlanta — LaRon Landry, S, LSU See page If Landry falls to the Falcons here, they would be ecstatic. They need a starter at the safety position, 13 for more 8and Landry has been off the charts in his workouts. He may turn out to be the best defensive player in the draft and with draft picks DeAngelo Hall already in the Falcons’ secondary, this could make the unit the best in the NFL. — Jonathan Hillyard

Houston Texans — Levi Brown- OT, Penn State It has been rumored that the Cardinals are showing interest in Brown at the number fi ve spot, but if he drops past Atlanta and Miami like he did in our draft, the Texans would be more than happy to pick him up. They invested heavily in quarterback Matt Schaub this off- season and should make this pick to protect this investment. Brown moves well laterally and Miami — Patrick Willis, LB, should help to Minnesota — Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Ole Miss protect his Dame Zach Thomas is quarterback’s Whose hands would you put the ball approximately 700 years old. blindside. in?
