what is this supposed to mean? How many reporters has the government killed in the UK and the US?

the US military has certainly killed reporters in Iraq - the well known UK journalist Terry Lloyd springs to mind

and Blair had to talk Bush out of specifically targetting Al Jazeera offices a couple of years back...

and what it means is that whether you are talking about targetted assassinations or 'collateral' deaths of innocent people caused worldwide this century neither the UK nor the US is in much of a position of moral authority to comment on other nations conduct any more..

that's what happens when you start disastrous and illegal wars under false pretences that result in approx 2/3m extra civillian deaths - you tend to lose the moral authority required to criticise when one KGB agent takes out an ex-KGB agent..

Okay, I'm bored of this story being on the news all the time, especially since nobody's got the balls to say'RUSSIA DID IT!

But what I wanna know is, why did they use radiation poisoning? It's not like its as though it an undetectable cause of death because it was in the news before he even died. Plus, not many assasins use radiation I'm guessin.
