Bad shot. ;-)

It's pretty bad, but, I was thinking exactly the same thing when I saw the video. That said, it could have been an incredible shot, depending on what the sniper was trying to do. My guess -- sniper was simply trying to wing her.

Russian snipers are shooting at reporters. How nice.

Yeah! Like the article says -- extremely brave or extremely foolish, she sticks around and finishes the report. The other thing that amazed me is that she almost immediately knew she had been shot. (What I mean is, she knew it was a bullet from a sniper that had grazed her arm.)

If that was a Canadian sniper he wouldn't have missed.

I think a Canadian sniper still holds the distance record. I remember it was a frickin long way away..some shot.

Hitting Celine Dion's nose from 3000 meters is no biggie- you have to consider the size of the target.

It would also be a public service worthy of a medal.

fuck em? Really?
So, should we take the Russians word in regards to their actions?
Do we no longer care about objective truth?
I've met a lot of people that reported from war zones and they all seemed quite aware of their vincibility.

No, I meant fuck all war journalists. they are just there in the middle of the shit and think that they can stand out in a war zone and be good to go. And then you got the ones that take pictures of something like some SEALs interrogating some terrorists, and the SEALs shoot one of the terrorist so that the other ones will talk, then they put that on the news and the military gets in alot of trouble and the media makes money. Some stuff I think America would be better off just not knowing about.

Seriously. Have you ever been shot? I have and it was a small caliber. It hurts like a *&(%^$!&!

We're kinda getting away from the topic at hand but I'll respond.
Personally, when war is waged in my name, I don't think there are any horrors that I would be better off not knowing. The gruesome truth should be known, we should know the consequences of our decisions.

Roger that, a Canadian JTF sniper holds the current record with a Barrett .50 at over a mile for target destruction on the second round engagement.

I am surprised that the russian apologists on this forum have not claimed that the shooting was staged by Georgia to make Russia look bad. :)
