I’ve moved up to Playful Primate in the Ecosystem. I guess I better enjoy it while it lasts, but I’m not in the mood today.
This post will contain news and blog updates and links, so please let me know what you’re finding out there.
“Militants” release 31 hostages (were they fellow Muslims?)
Latest developments (updated regularly)
Child hostages test Russia’s antiterror response
How could I have forgotten this?
Update (6:35 p.m.): Parents Spend Second Night by Seized Russian School
Update II (9/3): As many as 1,500 held hostage in Russia’s school: freed hostages, Soldiers Fight Rebels to End Russian School Siege (”rebels”: liberals are a laugh riot)
Update III: Is the crisis over? Backcountry Conservative is on top of things.
Update IV (9/4): Russia School Death Toll Includes 155 Children
Thanks for the link.
The sad thing is that whatever the outcome of this will be, and I think it will be grim, the world will forget. The same cries of appeasement, “understanding” and increased financial aid will resume shortly.

I watched footage of the storming live….it was truly insane stuff. Explosions and gunfire everywhere. Apparently a few Russian soldiers got hit trying to get the kids to safety and return fire.
