I spent five or six hours away from the news and I really hoped it'd all be over by the time I get home. But nothing has changed. No "happy end" yet.

I wanted to write something "clever" about Chechnya - but I can't. It's as crazy and complicated as a Cohen lawyer defending a Hamas guy in the States - a Cohen helping Hamas and Hamas trusting a Cohen, a Hamas guy with a house in Virginia and $1 million to spare for a bail.

Fuck them all, as I said yesterday. All except the hostages.
