Not if loud public calls have been made to release them. Because there are questions as to whether or not the secret service was reponsible for a terrorist attack that killed around 300 innocent civilians.
By the way clueless, ask yourself this, why were so many Chechins killed in Afghanistan? Why are there Chechin prisoners in Camp X-Ray? Why were Arabs like Kattab operating with Saudi and Bin Ladin support in Chechnya....oh those hard questions that liberals love to avoid.
Because Osama Bin Laden was training Shariah muslims in Afghanistan to fight the Russians in Chechnya. But that doesn't mean that the majority of Chechen civilians agreed with the invasion of Dagestan which facilitated the current Chechen war. Nor does it mean that they agreed with the Shariah muslims' expansionist ambitions.
The arabs have always backed the Mujahideen and al-Qaeda against Russia. Because Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979, killed 3 million Afghan civilians and turned the country into a rubbish tip, in the space of their ten year occupation.
The Russian Government has seized on the existence and the activities of these militant Shariah muslim extremists, as an excuse to subjugate the entire Chechen population. Do you believe, like many of your contemporaries, that the people of Chechnya deserve to be exterminated?
No I am not out to exterminate the Chechins, mass convert them...yes, exterminate no. But please, once more, avoid the reason why most Chechins choose to live in other parts of Russia and not in the enlightened regimes of other Islamics.
