Anna Politkovskaya was the kind of journalist the world can’t afford to lose. What stands between the little people and the fat giants who abuse their power over others? Our defense is not with guns and tanks but with the truthseekers. With Politkovskaya’s murder that already too frail piece of armour just got a little thinner.
She chose the precarious life of a peaceful warrior. Where are the monuments and the commemorative days for people like her? Vale, Anna.

Wake up, America!

This is our certain future if we don’t elect the Democrats on November 7!

Bush has been tailing Putin down the road to fascism every step of the way.  Putin has just been ahead of him.

It used to be that attacking a journalist was a dangerous as attacking a cop.  Kill a reporter and the Press would be like a nest of angry yellow jackets until the killer was caught.

Now?  Fox/Pravda and CNN’s and MSNBC’s spineless management will have their parrots say “Well, he/she shouldn’t have been so nasty about President Bush.”

“We condemn this killing, but....”

Words of cowardice and hypocracy.  Our future if we don’t take it back.

So, how long before Bushie gets the idea? He is an admirer of Putin, after all, and it isn’t for Putin’s love of democracy.

In French, Putin sounds exactly like its dissimilar ‘putain’.
which means a ‘whore’. Yes indeed, it seems. Putin is a
whore of the KGB.

Shooting the messenger sends a very clear message, doesn’t it!

If I were Bob Woodward, I’d be living under an assumed identity in a land far, far away. Hell, if I were him, I’d find bin Laden and hook up with his organization. Seems to be about the safest place on the planet.

The international community should insist on complete and thorough investigation. If the Russian government is found to be complicit in her murder, there should be massive demonstration against the government, demanding Putin’s resignation, and no civilized should have diplomatic relations with Russia.
