Omon troops beat up journalists in Vladovostak

Paul Goble, quoted frequently in the Georgian Daily, has his own web site, entitled “Window On Eurasia.” He has an interesting background which you can read on the above. Since he worked for the U.S. State Department and the CIA, he would, of course, be discredited if he were referenced in any debate with a Leftist – personal attacks being their forte, but he seems to be expert in the things he writes about.

Goble has written several articles describing tough times ahead for Putin and his administration. Perhaps the Vladivostok crackdown described in the above article can be kept quiet, at least Goble seems to think it can – except for the internet; although how that would be possible in light if the injuries to several journalists seems surprising.
