'Too Much Freedom'? Russian journo sends Cold War chill through White House

A Russian journalist at a White House briefing has caused something of a media stir, with a question some have compared to the Cold War rhetoric of old. After offering his condolences over last week's Arizona shooting rampage, Andrei Sitov asked if the spree was an inevitable by-product of American style freedom. Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded firmly that the actions of the gunman were totally un-American. "There is nothing in the values of our country, there is nothing in the many laws of our books that would provide for somebody to impugn and impede on the very freedoms that you began with by exercising the actions that individual took on that day. That is not American," said Gibbs. The gunman is in custody after opening fire at a political rally in a Tucson grocery store last Saturday. Six people were killed and thirteen more injured, including Representative Gabrielle Giffords. RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com RT on Twitter: twitter.com
