The AP's outrageous omission 
This news does my heart good.

But what's the deal with gracing this vile, murdering swine with the the term "rebel?"

Robert E. Lee was a rebel. Luke Skywalker was a rebel. Basayev was a terrorist.


How can the writer, Judith Ingram, write the whole piece and hardly mention Beslan, except to say:

The attack on the Beslan school shocked Russia and divided the rebel movement, since civilians, including women and children, were taken hostage

"Taken hostage?" "Taken hostage?"

You ignorant boob. How long have you been slavishly rewriting press releases for your news stories.

It's not that those civilians were taken hostage. It's that hundreds of school children were shot in the back and killed.

The fact that the AP could publish this article and not mention a single murder - not call this rat accountable for a damn thing - is ridiculous.

Are they serious about covering terrorism or not?


Splash, out

Comments:
Most of the dead in the Beslan siege - and the Moscow theater siege and the Budyonnovsk siege - resulted from Russian incompetence, not Chechen bloodthirstiness.

Just curious - did you also call the Afghan resistance fighters back in the 1980s murdering terrorist rats, or were those guys "freedom fighters"? They are much the same, and in both cases, the Russians killed many, many more innocent Afghans and Chechens than the Afghans and Chechens killed innocent Russians.
 
I suppose the 323 who died, half of them children, many because they were shot in the back by the people you're defending, died because of Russian incompetence.

EXACTLY right. They did. The vast majority of the dead were not "shot in the back in cold blood" by the Chechens, but were killed in the shootout when the dumbass Russians launched a bothced effort to storm the school.

All that nonsense about rape and torture is Russian propaganda intended to get Russians (and the world) worked up against the Chechens so the Russians can continue their immoral, genocidal occupation of Chechnya.

Bottom Line: at Beslan, just as at Budyonnovsk, there would have been a LOT less casualties if the Russians hadn't started shooting. And if they don't want this kind of thing happening, they should get their greedy imperialistic asses out of Chechnya, where they have no business being in the first place.
 
Chechen terrorists were responsible for all deaths in the Beslan. Had they not taken those hostages, there would have been no deaths. IF they were freedom fighters, they would not have attacked civilians, but instead gone after Russian soldiers.
 
The AP(AKA NY TIMES) is serious about covering UP for terrorism.
 
The Russians are responsible for every death in Beslan, because if they were not in Chechnya the Chechens would not have gone to Beslan.

Furthermore, if they had not attacked the school in a clumsy, stupid fashion, there would not have been nearly so many deaths. When the police use excessive and unnecessary force to apprehend a criminal, you don't say "well if the bad guy hadn't committed his crimes, the police wouldn't have been forced to burn down the whole neighborhood", you hold the police accountable for being stupid.
 
Betcha you think rape victims have it coming, too, moron.
 
You are TRULY pathetic if you are unable to appreciate that Russia is the rapist, not the rape victim. Anything the Chechens have done to Russia, the Russians have done to Chechnya a thousand times over. The Russians deserve NO sympathy. They are NOT the victims, they are the perpetrators.
 
Two wrongs don't make a right. You don't go kill innocent children because some wacko killed yours.
 
The first poster is of course WRONG.

No muslim terrorists, no dead children. Get it?
 
Two wrongs don't make a right.

Thanks for the sophomoric morality lecture delivered from the comfort of your home. Wonder how your feelings about "wrong" and "right" would change if the Russian Army was in your town, murdering, raping and exterminating the inhabitants.

Let's see, the Chechens can (a) lie down and die, (b) fight the Russian Army head on, or (c) take the fight to Russia asymmetrically in a "terrorist" campaign. Choices (a) and (b) are "right" but are stupid and don't work - the Chechens tried (b) for a while, they lost. Choice (c) is "wrong" (except at the level of "an eye for an eye") but at least has some chance of success.

No muslim terrorists, no dead children. Get it?

WRONG. You will have lots of dead children - thousands and thousands of them - but they will all be Chechen. I guess you're OK with that, though. Dead Chechens don't count, only dead Russians.
