A Russian TV reporter in Beslan says there are no signs whatsoever that the special forces are intending to storm the school - and then he spent about five minutes telling us how he is saying less than he knows because the terrorists allegedly have TV sets and are following all that's being said about the situation. This is so fucking scary. There's always a temptation "to read between the lines" in this country - and what he said may mean that there are actually some plans to do something that would piss the terrorists off. I'm sure there are - but no one knows when they decide to actually do something decisive and, possibly, fatal. Or maybe I'm just too paranoid. Still, I hope the terrorists are too dumb or haven't been paying attention to the news. God, please, let it end quickly and bloodlessly...
