Worthy of a Nobel

We, starting with President Bush and all believers in democracy and a free press, must not forget the martyred journalist, Anna Politkovskaya, 48 and mother of two. Her murder was emblematic of the kind of country Russia has become. Mrs. Politkovskaya was murdered not only for her journalistic exposes but she was murdered as a warning to other Russian journalists to lay off and stay off.

Putin's Russia is turning back the clock!

[rusureitflies?]

Thank you, for giving us a sobering view of the Inside. {where the Heart & Soul are... damned or otherwise.}

[slaymakerpowertape]

that's exactly what she needs now... more prizes

[eleni121]

Others are more deserving - or less - depending on what you think of the Nobels. I don't think much of them seeing how they've given them out to plagiarists and despicable politicians like carter.

Sad that she's dead, but there's no proof it was a state sponsored job. More likely one of her Chechnyan terrorist friends took her out. Or her former patron Soros

If Putin had really cared to stifle her he would not have had it done this way with all of the leftist media whores lambasting him.

[Axhandle]

Wasn't this woman an apologist for Chechen terrorists?

[GSlob]

Absence of the proof is not the proof of absence. And this murder stinks of kegebuns even against the wind. It is perfectly in keeping with what they - and their state - are.

[eleni121]

You have no proof. Period. It's more a contract killing because she was too close to and knew too much about certain chechen terrorists and/or on the outs with Soros.

[GSlob]

i could smell the kegebuns and their apologists [like you] against the wind- growing up in USSR would give a person such an ability. And with this kind of experience I do not need any further proofs.

[eleni121]

You may think you do but without knowledge you know nothing. I am no apologist for the KGB or the Commies...part of my family suffered greatly under the commies. I cannot say I know more about Russia than you do. But you are obviously blinded by some hatreds of the personal sort.

You know as well as I that the KGB and its predecessors were in control of the Soviet Union for about 60+ years. They had that time to do their devilish damage unimpeded by the West by the way - and the principal victims were the Russian people. The Russian nation has been around for 1,000 years...the Commies for less than 100.

Lots of people are recovering from that---not there yet are you?

[GSlob]

listen, kegebun, stop tiring me. the kind of BS you are trying to peddle will find preciously few takers outside of pan-russists and excessively orthodox.

[eleni121]

pan-russists and excessively orthodox.

You certainly do have a hatred of Christians and Slav people doncha? So did Ulyanov/Trotsky and Papa Joe.

You would have fit in nicely in Derzhinsky's blood squads.

[GSlob]

I have enough knowledge on the subject of evil empire to know that all those who identify with it or try to serve as its apologists [be it from Huntingtonian orthodox civilizational solidarity or from any other motivation] are morally defecative. Many thanks for providing me with teaching illustrations in my educational efforts. Indeed, if the likes of you did not exist already, I would have been forced to invent them, and would probably have created more cartoonish characters. Please be advised that you are being placed on my "to ignore" list - none of your input will be either read or answered.

[eleni121]

I know it's hard to deal with internal anger - based upon ignorance...and your placing me on your "ignore" list proves how hard it is.

Do svidanja Feliks.

[vargan]

Emmigrants like him are as such - they usually hate their motherland for whatever reason they find suitable.

[eleni121]

You may be right---But there is more to GSlob's story than just anger at the motherland (his birthplace). I suspect hatred based on religion.

His unwillingness to say anything speak volumes too.
