I think you're right. There are a lot questions that need to be answered,at least in my mind.
I wonder if the abductors were legal or illegal immigrants,same question about the victims. I also wonder if they came here to escape persecution after the dissolution of the Soviet Union,and if so why. Had they been communists and were now fleeing and if so why did we accept them? Were the Chechins,Moslems,how about the others? How did they all become bedfellows?
On another thread on Free Republic there was a discussion on the Russians in Brighton Beach,comments indicated that it was populated by Russian immigrants who were all on Social Security Disability or involved in phony insurance claims and other like natured scams.
It would be nice to actually discuss and pursue the facts on this type of scandal,since it has far reaching implications with regards to the type of society we are in the process of establishing as a replacement for what we once had.
Yes, lots of questions, but will it be covered and will there be answers? Probably not. It's too hot a story to handle and most "journalists" are wusses when it comes right down to it. Let's put it this way - the journalists aren't exactly afraid of John Mark Karr or those lacrosse saps down in North Carolina; therefore, 24-7 coverage.
