A Chechen rebel commander named Shamil Baseyev has claimed responsibility for the attack in Beslin in which 350 people, more than half children, died a horrible death. He has also claimed responsibility for the two airliners which went down the week before. What was our country's official response:

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said Mr. Basayev's claim of responsibility shows that he is "inhuman."

Mr. Armitage told a news conference in Warsaw, Poland, Friday that "anyone who would use innocence for political aims is not worthy of existence in the type of societies we enjoy."

I'm sorry. That's not good enough. This thing which thinks it's a man no longer qualifies as human. "Inhuman" is not nearly strong enough. He doesn't deserve to live free for one second longer. He should be caged like the rabid animal he is.
