Basayev broadcast enrages Russia

Russia says it is outraged by an interview with Chechen rebel
leader Shamil Basayev broadcast on America's ABC television network.

The Russian foreign ministry summoned a senior US diplomat in Moscow
to express its "strong indignation" over the show.

In the interview, the warlord, who had claimed the 2004 raid on a
school in Beslan, admitted he was a terrorist but said the Russians
were terrorists too.

Russia's most wanted man also warned of further Beslan-type attacks.

More than 320 people - around half of them children - were killed in
the attack at the school in September.

Speaking the truth and all.

Of course when somone else does it it is terrorisim. When we or our allies do it it is a "just war" or counter terrorism. Hmmmm... What was that word again?
