Russian President Vladimir Putin's
comments on the gangland slaying of journalist Anna
Politkovskaya are sort of telling in a funny/sad way, methinks:
"We have information, and it is trustworthy, that there are
people hiding from Russian justice and nurturing plans to sacrifice
someone as a victim to create a wave of anti-Russian sentiments
worldwide," he said through an interpreter. "(Politkovskaya) had
minimal influence on political life in Russia. This murder does
much more harm to Russia and Chechnya than any of her
publications."
Duh, world! Look at the evidence! Politkovskaya wasn't
important enough to kill!
