130-36-4 previous=about 90 innocents, out of about 700. So about an 86% survivor rate.

I don't see that the Ruskies had any choice in the matter. I would say that the mission was a success. I feel for the innocent families. I hope this might help change the Russian tone at the U.N.

According to news reports the hostages started trying to escape before the rescue so the terrorists had time to spray them with bullets. Considering the viciousness of the terrorists I think an 86% survival rate is a success.

Yeah that my thinking too. They are counting the terrorists as part of the 130.
