US Secretary of State went out of her way to meet with the son of assassinated journalist Anna Politkovskaya, during a trip to Moscow. Among other things Ms. Rice said "The fate of journalists in Russia is a major concern".
So is the fate of journalists in Iraq. Perhaps, now that the Secretary of State has broken the ice, Donald Rumsfeld will see fit to meet the wife and daughter of ITN journalist who was "unlawfully killed" by American troops in Iraq. The US Army refused to allow the soldiers involved to testify and have done their best to obstruct the investigation in his death. I suspect that, behind the scenes, the US government is doing everything in their power to ensure that there is no indictment and trial.
