A former Ukrainian general suspected of carrying out the high-profile murder of journalist Georgiy Gongadze has reportedly confessed to the killing. A senior police official said Oleksiy Pukach had also implicated senior political figures in the murder. Mr Gongadze's decapitated body was found in a forest in September 2000.

Three others - all former policemen - were jailed for the murder last year but Gen Pukach remained on the run until his capture on Tuesday. Mr Gongadze was an investigative journalist who had exposed high-level corruption. He was abducted in 2000 and his body was found months later. He had been beaten and strangled, his body doused in petrol and burned.

1. Elites usually hire specialists to do the dirty work.

And with special techniques (even with two gunshots to the back of the head) a reporter's death like Gary Webb's can still be declared a "suicide"...

Elites must never stop laughing at how impotent and gullible we are.
