#1 You just have to love El Guardian's take on it. "Siege" it was?! "Militants" they were!? The asswipes at El Guardian need to tighten up their vocabulary to draw distinctions now that they've learned how to Google new intern hires to verify their credentials rather than make assumptions. Are there not more descriptive and appropriate words for folks who take hundreds of schoolchildren hostage and murder them in a school? El Guardian couldn't find them it seems. A siege could be a situation where militants surround an outpost or place for a period of time. A slaughter would be when hundreds are taken hostage and held in a room filled with explosives that are ultimately used to kill hundreds. Those who engage in that behavior are terrorists, psychopaths, scum, mass murderers, child killers etc. rather than mere "militants" who "organized" a "siege." El Guardian asswipes would do well to consider whether or not they'd feel their own terms would be appropriate if Beslan had happened in say, London or Oxford.

#2 "The Guardian" is staffed by militant journalists. Beslan was attacked by TERRORISTS.
