I'm not exactly sure if you are referring to my unclear comments. If so, may I referr you to wita's brilliant, if perhaps unintentional, insight in post #50?

...How involved do you think the President of the UNited States of America, or any governor of any state is in the daily mundane and normal operations of federeral agencies?...

This is the heart of the ongoing calamity. Our government is now thoroughly bureaucritized. It exists to preserve, exapand and reward itself no mattter who is in "power".

I do apologise to all for pointing out the obvious. That seems to upset a great many people....

I will now go back to being happy that the Russians were able to spare as many lives as they did. And, of course, to waiting for the next "urelated" incident which will ulitmately have been paid for by Americans who worship their oillah and love to submit to it.....

Bits and pieces.
Apart from the 36 terrorists killed in the assault, four more have been recently apprehended
-- two of them had been inside the building among the hostage takers, two outside --
accomplices.

One terrorists was caught outside the building when he escaped from the building, having
changed into the clothes of one of the hostages. He approached the NTV crew and tried to
contact his accomplices by phone but was identified and apprehended.

Doctors who have examined the bodies of dead terrorists are saying that there are
numerous syringe punctures on their bodies. Drug addicts, most of them.

Special force officers are saying that the hostages inside the building had given them
valuable information about the position of the terrorists in the building, which helped the
officers to liquidate them before they could blow up explosives charges, of which there
were about 30. According to the officers, the charges could have destroyed not only the
theater but also the neighboring buildings.

Apart from the explosives, found in the building were masses of small arms and even big
calibre machine-guns and suitable ammo, which indicates careful preparations for the
terrorist act.

Ralllies are being held in Chechnya in support of the actions of federal authorities, NTV
reports. At the same time President Putin gave strict instructions to Interior Minister
Gryzlov to take all measures to prevent outbreaks of anti-Chechen and anti-Caucasian
feeling.

The list of terrorists being apprehended is growing -- some are discovered among the
hostages taken to hospitals. Some 10 terrorists are said to have escaped for the time
being.

President Putin visited the Sklifosovsky emergency medical institute (popularly known as
Sklif) where some of the worst affected hostages are treated. Putin talked to a 15-year old
lad who only wanted to take a shower bath and brush his teeth, he said.

There was one Israeli woman among the hostages, whose nationality was kept a secret for
fear of being identified and killed by the terrorists. She appears to be safe and sound.
