I did not deny that she was murdered. I just said that there is no reason to believe that this was a politically motivated murder when it would make no sense at

  I didn't know that It-cannot-be-politically-motivated-because-I-disagree-with-the-victim was a justification in use outside the United States... Care to suggest a motivation to murder this person that isn't political?

  Keep in mind that we may not be in possession of all the facts about what she was working on or whom she was in contact with. Usually, during the course of an investigation and before publication, a reporter will have made contact with and presented evidence to the target of the investigation. Even if she weren't actually working on an investigation, her murderers may have perceived her to be an ongoing danger. Yes, it's possible that she was just a random victim. Reminds me of the subplot in "The Wire" in which an politically important homicide victim is found later to have died of an accident. But I'm guessing random accidental shootings happen more in Baltimore than planted car bombs in Malta.
