"Which makes it even more disgraceful that these Chechen separatists had a lot of support from key advisors to the Bush Administration."

Do a seach on an organization called the American Committee for Peace in Chechnya, and check out a list of its members. Two questions immediately came to my mind when I read through that list:

1. Why the hell are all of these people who were such strong supporters of the U.S. "war on terror" in the Middle East criticizing the Putin government for its means of dealing with the Chechen separatists?

2. How the hell did all these "neo-conservatives" like William Kristol, Richard Perle, Norman Podhoretz, Caspar Weinberger, Michael Ledeen, Robert McFarlane, Alexander Haig, Elliott Abrams, James Woolsey, and Robert Kagan end up in the same leftist lobbying group as Geraldine Ferraro and Richard Gere?
