"Westerse hypocrisie"

Mark Ames, de legendarische reporter van The Exile die zijn ziel heeft verkocht aan Russia Today, heeft een verhaal naar mijn hart: Where is America's Politkovskaya? Hij "ontrafelt "de gebeurtenissen na de moord op Politkovskaja en haalt uit naar (de media in) het Westen. Op zijn ongeëvenaarde fijnzinnige, subtiele manier (ahum). Of hij gelijk heeft of niet, het is boeiend leesvoer.

Hierbij wat passages. Over de media en het Westen:

The Western media wasted no time in seizing Politkovskaya's corpse for their own purposes, parading it around and milking it for every ounce it was worth.
What exactly was Anna Politkovskaya's bullet-riddled corpse worth to the West? No surprise here: A juicy opportunity to demonize Putin and Russia.

Over (zogenaamd) Russisch facisme en een vergelijking met de VS:

If "Fascism" means what I think they mean -- violence and lies and hate -- then America, which used a lie as a pretext to invade a country on the other side of the globe, completely leveled a city of 300,000, and killed half a million citizens, all the while violently suppressing the truth and anyone who tries to get it out -- is guilty as charged.

Nog eens de VS en Irak:

You can see now why we have no Politkovskaya, as badly as we need one. If you go against the "fascist" tendency in your home country, you're targeted for death and career destruction by the government and a bloodthirsty right-wing population. Just as with Chechnya, Iraq has been made too dangerous to work in, and the American government has put a perfectly air-tight lid on information, not even allowing photographs of the coffins of dead American servicemen.
