Something that needs to be seen

Politkovskaya's Funeral

http://today.reuters.com/tv/videoChannel.aspx?storyid=7483cf0fc928bb947755ba4b6c34c78c4fd02a68

The news of Politkovskaya's murder has been all over the Internet, since it's more a Russia Chechniya story, I have not covered it really, but at the same time, the issues in Chechniya have awful parallels with BiH and the rest of the Balkans. This woman was murdered trying to do the right thing. The old Soviet methods are not dead, and the rest of the world needs to pay attention to that fact.

The above blog has something to say about this! I really like this blog.

And I agree with you that this is something that needs to be seen. It's a sad thing.
 
A good editorial on Politkovskaya and Putin.
