Heard the report this morning on NPR. They closed the piece with a 
mention that Putin is doing little to solve the murders. While trying 
not to wander into conspiracy theory territory, doesn't it serve 
Putin to have a little fear put into the souls of any working 
journalists? And if the oligarchs or org.crime do it for him, so much 
the better?

Is that too cynical, or conspiracy nutty?
