The moral of the story being, "Don't visit Moscow if you're a Putin critic." It's a violent place.

But remember, Bush looked into Putin's soul and vouched for his honesty. Putin must be a good guy if Bush says so.

I am soooo surprised. Just a matter of time. The U.S.S.R. is still alive and kicking...

How many journalist critics of George Bush (I hear he has a few), the supposedly fascist President who wants to suppress all criticism, have been shot dead?

"Moscow chief prosecutor Yuri Syomin told reporters at the crime scene, a nine-story Soviet-era apartment building in central Moscow, that he was treating the death as murder. Well no sh1t Sherlock! Glad to see they are on top of things.

No tin foil hats; good ol' fashion Kevlar. The Soviet (ahem) Russian military appears to have made previous attempts on her life. A military officer was charged (and acquitted) of making death threats against her, and she was mysteriously poisonned during the Chechnyan terrorist negotiations.
I get the sense (only a hunch) that few FReepers would actually like her politics, but she certainly was a heroically brave woman whose death is very ominous.

You can bet she didn't say a thing when those Chechen terrorists murdered all those Russian children.

The worst part about it is that the only way for Putin and his buddies to gain more territorial power and partially legitimize it is to foment chaos and swoop in 'to restore order'. He seems to be pushing a lot of buttons in the surrounding former soviet satellites.

Chechnya is a COUNTRY, with aspirations and a right to its own future. Russia has tried for 400+ years to assimilate Chechnya and continues to fail, in spite of what it and Russians of all political stripes claim.
Chechnya joined the Islamic sphere as a way to distance itself from Russia and gain allies against it.
America has sold out (and continues selling out) Chechnya out to Russia, in return for Russia's cooperation in the WOT.
Reasons for the current situation include: 1) history of Russian expansionism; 2) oil in Chechnya.

As Iw heard,
Ana Politkovska was liberal fluffer.
She was known for attacks on Russian Ortodox Church, claiming that Church is about to destroy Liberalism in Russia, she was pro-gay activist and claimed to have connections within Islamis extremists.
She was critisizing Russian anti-islamic operations in Chechenia, and thrusted negotiator of Chechen terrorists who asked for her presence during terrorist actions in Dubrovka teather.

"Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya... won international fame and numerous prizes for her dogged pursuit of rights abuses by Putin's government, particularly in the violent southern province of Chechnya... In the days before her death, Politkovskaya had been working on a story about torture in Chechnya... She said she was unable to cover the bloody siege of a school at Beslan in 2004 -- in which more than 330 children and parents died when troops stormed the school -- because she was poisoned on the flight from Moscow and ended up in hospital." Call me a cold-blooded monster, a jerk, an idiot, whatever. I have little sympathy for journalists in general, and even less sympathy for those who take the side of Islamic radicals.
Does the Russian government kill people whom it deems to be a threat? Probably. Do I care? A little. I'm much more concerned with Islamic radicals, including those whom this lady allied herself with.

Apparently there is a Perestroika gap in the new Russia. Some Communists still solve political "problems" the old-fashioned way.

she was killed by two shots when leaving the lift. Neighbors found her body," a police source told Reuters. Police found a pistol and four rounds in the lift. A professional double-tap? What were the other two rounds for?
