I do not disagree with your position.

However, what I see troubling is the trend. Terrorism is slowly making a headway as part of the tactics of extreme groups, regardless of geographical location.

I hope it never shows up in the US. And even if it never does. One of these days, the weapon of choice by either the terrorists or the enforcing government is going to use a weapon that will have much deeper consequences for us all. In this instance, the gas used they think was BZ --a gas that the Russians are not supposed to have.

This is what has been deducted from available evidence. Imagine what we do not know....

no doubt you are correct, but with all of the concern about bio and chemical weapons, to see them used....pretty scary. Why would they expect any survivors amongst the hostages? Was their sole intent to save the theater?
