they gassed 100+ hostages...man oh man.. Well, I don't think they had much choice. The medical preparation was piss poor though. They must known what the possible downside was and could of prepared the hospitals for it. Maybe just a note.. "You might be receiving some casualties that have breathed an unknown gas. Here is the best procedure to revive the patient." Also just having some special attack troops going around slapping cases in the throws of death hardly looks like good medical preparation for the emergency. So..some lessons to be learned. Good on Putin and co for having a try. Some of his citizens seem a lot more frightened of him then the Chechens though. Some of that KGB training is hard to modify I guess.

Not really sure, but the lines are getting blurred ... much like the question of shooting down a domestic airliner that may have turned into a flying bomb. CBC radio had a couple of factoids that I found interesting. First was an interview with a Russian/Canadian hostage who totally agreed, said they were all sure they were going to die ... these guerillas were cold, and they'd wired their bombs very convincingly. Second was that the Moscow doctors at the hospitals where most of the 600-odd survivors were still being treated wished to hell the government would tell them exactly what drug/chemical their patients had been exposed to ... the fact they won't is leading to speculation that it must be internationally banned.
