#5 "In the ethnic villages our troops are collecting arms from the fleeing Georgians and sending them home. During the day there was a "vile embarassment" when the Ossetians shot 30 Georgian prisoners, distracting the world from the Georgian atrocities against the peacekeepers. The Georgians are "impudent" (NAGLEYUT) and GRAD (rockets) have been set up by the aministrative boundary adjacent to the rubble created yesterday. Tanks and AA fire only across the boundary."

Translation not guaranteed. It's been a long time.

#6 I can see how the murder of 30 prisoners could be a distraction. Silly little things like that can put your whole day off.
