Great post, excellent photos.

My only beef is with the Reuters captions (not your fault, for sure!).

They are not Chechen "rebels". They are Islamic terrorists.

I agree... until the news agencies start calling the Islamic terrorists by their rightful labels, they are on the side of the terrorists. (Same goes with the murderous Palestinians)

Good for Putin! He did what he had to do. Islamic terrorists will soon have the entire world turned against them. I'm glad they've released these brutal photos. I hope terrorists everywhere are experiencing a sense of futility because of this. Those who would murder others should die themselves.

They are Islamic terrorists.

Maybe we all need to remind the Media. And I question, WHY does the news media have a problem with Islamic terrorists. Same with this Muhammed guy.

As much as I hate this type of outcome, we had better get used to it. It's the only language Islamic terrorists understand and one day we will have to understand that if we are to have any chance of putting a stop to them. Hat's off to Putin.

Roto - Reuter news has difficulty distinguishing what a terorist is. Remember, way back when, they announced that to some these folks are terrorists but to their own they are heros - or something like that.
