instilling fear for their own families into Islamic "warriors" is a great idea and something they already understand.......I'm all for it!
Too bad they didn't rub them down in pig grease before releasing them.
Boston Globe / LA Times will always shed tears for terrorists, never for their victims.
Cry me a river.
The "suffering" of Mashkadov and Besayev's extended families being taken captive by the Russians will never remotely approach the scope or depth of the suffering perpetrated upon the people in Beslan.
They will be fed.
They will be given water.
They just won't be free to do what they want until Besayev and Mashkadov surrender themselves.
I don't have a problem with this.
