<<In the wake of the school hostage crisis that killed more than 340 people, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke Saturday, calling for a new approach to law enforcement and pledged the reform would be in accordance with the nation's constitution.

Putin said international terrorists had declared "a full-scale war" against Russia, and that due to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the nation was weakened and unable to respond as effectively as it must. >>

We may have a new friend in this war.

Two emergency services workers were killed and three wounded during the chaos, and more than 10 special services officers were killed,

The most obvious mistake they made-the TV sequence makes it obvious-is not sealing off the area. They didn't "control the perimeter." The mix of commandos and parents was terrible. And it allowed some terrorists to escape.
