Another day in Vladimir Putin's Russia, another "troublemaker" murdered.
Stanislav Markelov, a lawyer representing the family of a murdered Chechen girl, who also represented murdered journalist Anna Politkovskaya and other abused Chechens, has been shot and killed. Curious how all these people making trouble against the Russian established order just happen to die.
One of George Bush's worst mistakes, among his many, was calling Mr. Putin someone he could work with, and his "friend." The prospects for the naive Obama administration are not much better, since BO seems to think he charm just about anyone.
Putin is, in fact, a murderer. And a potential mass murderer if energy prices rise again, which may encourage him to return to overrunning the former Soviet bloc nations such as Georgia and Ukraine. One shudders to think of the political murders that will ensue then.
