Even if there were fatalities among the hostages, the fact that the Russians took over the theater and stopped the
terrorists from any kind of success is a win in the favor of antiterrorism tactics. I am proud of the Russians for their actions. All nations need to act to stop this craziness. These terrorista are taliban.... the taliban hijacked the Muslim religion in Chechnya now they are part of the terrorist problem for the whole world.

Okay look...for the "A win is a win" crowd please save the speech.
I am a former member of FAST Company and a very interested observer in Russia's MOUT/CQB tactics and I have a kneejerk desire to critique based on casualties as well as body counts. That is the bottomline in Hostage Rescue.
I welcome any comments from former SpecFor operators or MOUT/CQB trainers....but short of that I'm not very interested in unqualified remarks.
