#1 Quite so. That Russian expert failed to note that the dosage did take into account the fact that those strapped with bombs could have brought the building down if not immediately disabled.

If I were in that situation I'd rather take my chances with the gas (though I wouldn't have been in that situation -- I would probably have been dead, along with a few terrorists).

Arm the Russian people, and this won't happen again! (Nah, they won't listen, but I had to say it anyway.)

#2 If 50 Bad Guys take 750 real people hostage, and then later discover that 200 of the hostages are packing heat, guess who's gonna be unhappy?

#3 At the end of the day, most observers will oppose the use of gas in what turned out to be fatal concentration, and not the use of gas in itself. Putin's hand was forced. God bless anyone else who is put in the same position.
