You only need to read this sentence from the piece to assess the whole of it:

"For his part, President Putin tried to divert the outrage over the horrific Breslan catastrophe away from his KGB colleagues who had caused it"

Author credibility = FLUSH

Can you provide proof that the KGB did not in fact cause the massacre?

Can you say Reichstag fire?

[Luis Gonzalez]

By the way...did you bother seing who the author is?

Ion Mihai Pacepa, a former two-star general, is the highest-ranking intelligence officer to have defected from the Soviet bloc. His book Red Horizons has been republished in 27 countries."

What would a two-star general in Russia's intelligence community know about Russian intelligence...

The KGB having been gone for some 8 years before this. LOL.

Talk about living in the past.

There is a legion of these ex-KGB types here in America. Each is trying to capitalize on their former careers or there lack off to make a tidy sum, most are successful. Case in point: Newsmax's Col Stanislav Lunov. He "defected" from the Soviet Union in 1993, came to the US, wrote a book on how the soviet union in shadows was preparing to attack the US on Y2K and Newsmax pimped him and his book. Funny, 2004 and no invasion.

Not so in the light of the long standing relationship between the KGB and islamic radicals, PLO and what not.
