Not down playing anything. Wrong is wrong. But if equal is equal why do attrocites in Chechnya ignored while Iraq makes the front page everytime someone in the coalitions forces passes gas? Who has heard of the following?
The four Russian spetsnaz opened fire on the vehicle carrying six civilians on a quiet road in southern Chechnya. They killed the driver, then realised they had netted not a carload of "terrorists", but a couple of village teachers, a farmer, and a mother of seven children. To cover up their blunder, the Spetsnaz commandoes executed all five survivors, doused the vehicle in petrol and set it alight to pretend that it had hit a landmine. Never made the front page.
The Spetsnaz poisioning of the Shelkovsk school district, poisoning the school children on Chechnyan political leaders.
What's up with that? Not media worthy?
