Yes it's terrible that Anna Politkovskaya was killed but there are just too many unexplained aspects. The western press leapt on the story and even Wikipedia immediately updated. Now isn't this interesting? The incident which the cloak 'n dagger west wants to link to this - the 2004 poisoning - needs to be kept separate. Yes they were trying to kill her but who were? She was going to Beslan to negotiate hostage release. Her thoughts on the issue did not emerge until afterwards. On top of that, do you really think Putin is going to risk this, knowing full well how the west will view it? And why doesn't he then do the same to EchoMoskva, often far more critical than Anna. As I said, there is much more to this than meets the eye, so no one's in any position to point fingers yet.

As I said on my post, she was killed my a coward. Let's hope we do discover the truth to her slaying.
