Don't call me Sherlock after I break this case wide open: Vladamir Putin and his cronies were behind the majority of these attacks on journalists in Russia. But until the citizens care nothing will be done about it.

Unfortunately, nothing will happen...no government will stand up for these journalists against Russia, no UN session, no International Court. When China and Russia are the subject is when you can really see how the world works. Got power and money? Go ahead and do what you will...

They we're simply trying to infuse some knowledge into his brain.
He wasn't a quick learner and so that's why they had to keep pounding it into his head.

It's murder - a scapegoat will be charged.

I proffer that the e ville done by the Bush administration, the cheating of the elections, the sullying of America as a role model has allowed the world to become more cynical and feel like it is okay to do whatever they want and that they can get away it. Make a timeline of all the bad things going on. Since Bush, it has been like the gates of hello have been unleashed. We need a justice system that really works, but to do this we need to remove some Supreme Court Justices, the ones who think that it is okay that a state does not finish its vote and we need the reversal of all Bush decisions and the removal of all Bush appointees. We need to amend the Constitution so nothing like the Bushes can ever happen again in America.

All the amendments in the world won't matter if we have a President that doesn't care what the Constitution says. Our last President, when faced with what he felt were impractical Constitutional doctrines, merely ignored them.

In Russia, independent investigations are an oxymoron.

As for Putin, guess who's the puppeteer manipulating all those marionettes?

Yup. This is the "canary in the mine." If Obama refuses to bring this up to Putin and Medvedev, we'll know where we're headed in the US.
