Two more critics of Vladimir Putin take bullets in the head

Putin wasn't even that great as an operative given that his spy ring got busted in no time.

The point is though that at the moment whenever a journalist gets killed in Russia it is laid immediately at the feet of the Kremlin. During the Yeltsin years journalists were being killed as well.

The thing that gets me is that no one ever looks behind the motives of some of these journalists.

Take the current scandal with the Lords who have alleged to have accepted money to make amendments to laws. From what I understand it was a sting with journos pretending to be lobyists setting them up.
