     More embarrassing autopsy mistakes from a tragic April 2010 Smolensk plane crash... continue to disturb Poland.
     Now...former President Ryszard Kaczowski's body has been exhumed from a Warsaw church...to conduct new DNA tests and see if he was buried in the wrong grave.
    He died...with 95 other dignitaries...during a controversial attempted landing in Russia... ahead of an important ceremony.
    So far...2 other crash victims' remains have been wrongly identified...including famous Solidarity activist Anna Walentynowicz.
   All original autopsies were done in Moscow...by Russians.
     AND: Warsaw may be informally blocking Russian investments...despite a growing need for new sources of capital. 
        Recently...2 high profile bids for companies...Polimex and Tarnow...were rejected... perhaps because they came from historic adversary...Russia.
