IIRC, the bodies of the cousins of the kidnappers were found with their penises sewed in their mouths. Bill Casey commented, "The Russians speak Hamas' language."

While the Russians arent good at formal combat.....see Afghanistan.....they are masters at fighting in the darkness of special ops. Their agents know their targets and make sure their targets get what is coming to them. Once family members of terrorists begin showing up dead in various poses, the bad guys get the message and back off.

If only we could learn that lesson.

Of course, Bill Casey wasn’t around to hear about Beslan.
