These goobers always forget that once they leave the US that they are bound by the laws of the country they are in. International citizenship doesn't exist, except in their defunct brains.

I enjoy freedom of the press also, but in this case, they did the right thing in sacking a media organization that is part of the same Liberal media organ that coddles these thugs and criminals, by granting them interviews to use as a pulpit or plant from which to direct their troops to more attacks. To me, although an interview piece, this is no different than Al-Jazeera playing one of OBL's latest video or audio tapes.

Perhaps I'll write a note to the Russian embassy to thank them for taking action against such an obvious terrorist front and an organization willing to spread terrorist propaganda for those who carry out utterly depraved attacks against Russian civilians including children.
Giving these people a public place at the microphone is supporting their cause and sharing the guilt for their subsequent terrorism as they seek to capitalize on the free publicity you, as a broadcaster, gave them for free.

I can't help but thinking that if this were the old Soviet Union, the interviewer, the producer, and the cameraman would be sitting in some cells in the Lubyanka sweating it out like Judy Miller. But the KGB was a different animal than the DC Police.
My guess is that one of them would have coughed up the terrorist's location within about an hour of the beginning of the interrogation. And then, they would have either been deported immediately or given a spell in the Gulag as an enemy of the state.
To: BigSkyFreeper
There is nothing good here, Russians demonstrated once again that they do not understand what the freedom is about, and the worse of they consider it an unfriendly act the US Government because the interviewer was from Radio Liberty.

If the FCC had any balls, ABC, CBS and NBC would have lost their licenses a long time ago, for knowingly airing treason, slander and lies.
To: BigSkyFreeper
Good. ABC shouldn't be soap box to this barbarian. I say jail the news crew until Basayev is dead or captured.

If the news crew had any balls they would have shot the terrorist sob in the head and demanded the reward money.
The best way to end terrorism is to kill terrorists.

"In a statement, the ministry said ABC would be considered "undesirable" by all Russian state agencies because of an interview with Shamil Basayev, which was broadcast last week.
"The ministry called the broadcast a "clear fact supporting the propaganda of terrorism" and said it contained "direct vocal calls for violence against Russian citizens."
Too bad we can't do the same thing. There is no doubt in my mind that some of the propaganda from some in our msn and some of our dem senators (newsweek and senator durbin come to mind) have been a detriment to our war efforts and have cost American lives.
I wouldn't be upset at all if the Russians had put these people behind bars. I think they're getting off to lightly myself.

Oh, but you don't understand ABC's point of view.
You see, Besayev may be a terrorist in your eyes and on mine, but to the liberal press, as personified by ABC in this case, he is just a freedom-fighter.
Repeat after me: one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

He is responsible for the slaughter of hundreds of children at Breslan. He is a monster. If ABC can't see that, they don't belong.
