Shame on George Bush, shame on the US government, and most of all shame on the people of the US for allowing their Constitution to be trampled so blatently. Disgusting!

[DRockMonolith]

Right about the time Bush said "The Constitution is just a goddamned piece of paper..." was when I knew he and all his people were bullshit.

9-11 was just a staged demolition using thermate process and settelite guided targeting with plains. this trial, torture, wars, death all are the symtamatology of sick minds ruling USA

In my opinion killing is a strange way to show killing is wrong. It is obviously making no profound impact as there are people still commiting these crimes and subsequently being placed on death row. i dont think its achieving anything except a lot of arguements.

if only people were smart enough to use lie detectors

[dynamoehummm]

Yes, its my opinion tha.. hold on.. it's Gulliani on the phone. Imagine that, 6 get charged. Now. after like almost 7 years? Damint hold on... "Gulliani dude! I to.... yes Im .... Dude DUDE I gotta cal ya back"

yep - that's why I've said that - to not totally go astray from this particular clip here - if we in the West don't fight for freedom of speech and justice, when there are people like her & Litvinenko etc who died for those things, we don't deserve our democracy. I think it's our moral obligation as free citizens. (As to Litvinenko, his style is more analytical and of course had probably a better insight as an insider - you have probably seen L's interview on A here - or somewhere before btw )

I have a lot of respect for her, as it must have taken a lot of courage to work as an investigative reporter in such a turbulent nation, especially due to the subject of her investigations.

[eppurs1muove]

and I wa so used to such news I paid no attention, but my mom said "oh my, is it..." - only then I realized what she was suspecting and right then came the confirmation - still as a text, (because the channel had a few minutes' pause before the news started) but no longer mere headline: "Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya..." - just when I had learned to admire her courage so it's one of those days that is hard to forget. But not first time in history such happens to a person like her .

[eppurs1muove]

A coincident that happened to me was that when I finally brought back Anna Politkovskaya's book on war in Chechnya to my parents (they have, among others, "Putin's Russia" in their bookself too, but somehow I still have not borrowed it yet - and oh yes, I do buy books myself too - it's just that we often borrow from & lend to friends & relatives),my mom had opened the tv to watch the news,but it was still showing just the main headlines,one of them being "famous Russian journalist assasinated".
