re: #370 Barrett Brown

I have brought as much proof as we have regarding many of the instances of Russian journalists being killed, and in fact more in light of the Bush-Blair conversation on bombing a news outlet’s main HQ, which is something that doesn’t seem to have made much of an impression here.

Well, there isn’t actual proof that Russian state as such engages in killings of journalists, although it is certainly responsible for the climate which allows such killings to happen. And no, there is no evidence that Politkovskaya was offed on Putin’s orders etc.
