You an I have reached completely opposite conclusions. To me, this is evidence that indeed, to our "State" Department one mans terrorist is indeed another man's freedom fighter.
I beleive that that this is a determination that ought to be made by Russians in Russia when it concerns their own nationals. This is not appropriate behavior for the United States. This Achmadov has no business taking shelter in the United States, and we have no business sheltering him when the Russians have unfinished business with him and the murderous Chechens in general.
We ought to be standing by the Russians if we want them to stand by us. We won't achieve that by harboring terrorists OR terrorist enablers.
john buddy...we agree a 100%...
