4. Really suck..

2. Most Chechens are Muslim, though more nationalist than jihadist

Still nothing chiseled in stone in these early hours of the breaking story.

Attacking America for their grievances against Russia seems pretty random, I think. But then, these people are terrorists & fanatics. Just because they're sneaky and wily doesn't mean they're not dumb.

3. Most Chechens are Muslims and the anti-Russian forces...

have been tied to the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Remember when John McCain wanted to go to war with Russia in order to free Chechnya so we could park our nuclear war heads there? Nobody but John thought that was a good idea.

8. He was a champion boxer

Interesting info about Tamerlan at that site--

"Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves."

Tamerlan says he doesn't usually take his shirt off so girls don't get bad ideas: "I'm very religious."

Tamerlan says he loves the movie "Borat," even though some of the jokes are a bit too much.

If he wins enough fights there, Tamerlan says he could be selected for the US Olympic team and be naturalized American. Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia."

--he worries that "people can't control themselves." (control issues + religious = uh oh)

6. Wasn't sure about the photos...

in the beginning but I heard "dark-skinned" being mentioned everywhere with at least one of them being dark skinned.

When I saw them on tv this morning, I didn't see any kind of dark skin.
