Still a Mystery
The Russian air crashes remain a mystery, which is why I haven't said anything about them. This CNN report contains a good summary of what's been confirmed. The Moscow Times story is here.
That we all suspect terrorism, though no group has claimed responsibility, suggests just how much terrorism has changed: It's not about specific causes (Chechen rebels say the crashes aren't they're doing) or specific targets but about generally striking fear. Or maybe we're all just spooked.
