Signs of looting, ethnic cleansing in conflict - "Now Ossetians are running around and killing poor Georgians in their enclaves," said Maj. Gen. Vyacheslav Nikolaevich Borisov, the commander in charge of the Russian-occupied city of Gori. "We have to be honest," a Russian lieutenant said. "The Ossetians are marauding." Dozens of houses were on fire Tuesday in the northern suburbs of Tskhinvali, the capital of South Ossetia. Reporters saw unidentified armed men carting away electronics and other household items. The Russians were not stopping them. "We're not a police force; we're a military force," a Russian lieutenant colonel said. "It's not our job to do police work."

So the New York Times says their might have been killings, I don’t believe a word they write. They are Liberal and have always had an Anti Russian anti Serbian, and Anti Ossetian agenda. So, the worse that has happened is that Ethnic Georgians aren’t being allowed back in, doesn’t bother me. Same how the Serbs deported Kosovars.
