BBC reports no more free Soyuz flights

The BBC is reporting that after the 2006 contract completion, the
Russian space agency will only fly US astronauts on a commercial basis.
They didn't say whether it is RKS, Energia or other institute saying
no, I'm assuming RKS or whatever their called now.

This seems like a good opportunity for the America's Space Prize or a
"fasttrack" CEV like the t/Space proposal. alternatively an excellent
excuse to abandon the station. The simplest, yet most unlikely,
near-term solution would seem for Congress to make an exemption for
purchasing Soyuz seats.
