1) Those Chechens who think they can blackmail Russia, they're gonna die. All of them. Once the first hostage dies the balances shifts to anger. Opposing the war in Chechnya is a good cause and from what I've seen the lack of outrage in Russia in response to the to this atrocity. If no one had died, this may have gone differently.

2) Just saw a report that we aren't closely cooperating with the German police any more in their crackdown on Al Qeada. I understand why our government is pissed at the German leadership, but this will bite us in the ass.
