Its Official, Russia's Military Kills Chechens Because Russian Officers Are Insane

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The first senior Russian officer to go on trial for crimes against civilians in the breakaway region of Chechnya has been declared insane, Interfax news agency reported Monday.
In a case seen as a test of Russia's willingness to clamp down on human rights abuses in Chechnya, Colonel Yuri Budanov faces charges of killing a young Chechen woman two years ago, in the early stages of Moscow's drive against separatists.
Interfax, reporting from the site of the trial in Rostov-on-Don in southern Russia, quoted a court source as saying the latest psychiatric assessment of Budanov had ruled he was insane. The agency said forensic psychiatrists recommended Budanov undergo medical treatment.
The trial, monitored by human rights groups, has been repeatedly interrupted for psychiatric tests on the defendant.

while the usa supports, installs muslim dictators, as proven by the support given by usa/brits in 1953 in iran, which, resulted in an overthrough of government, and later, extremism in islam. Bin laudin saw this, and thought "what a wonderfull way to get support, use religion" America and the brits are the founders of extreme islam. When will america learn? seems they never will, same thing is happening is venezuela, and soon in africa, for the simple reason, both places want to nationalize oil, as did iran in 1953. Blame the usa and the brits.
People die in war, fuck em here and in the afterlife..
Either way their dead.
Pershing ordered the Amalekites (shithead islamists) executed one by one in the presence of the whole group. Moslems will not eat pork believing that no one could enter Paradise if there is even the smallest amount of swine flesh in their bodies. Knowing this, the General first ordered the firing squad to shoot large hogs. After they skinned the swine, the executioners rolled their bullets in pork fat and passed fat through the barrels of their rifles while the condemned watched. As each condemned terrorist was executed, his corpse was wrapped in hog's skin and buried on the spot. The entrails of the swine were dumped over the corpse before the grave was covered. Three of the convicted Amalekites were released to take the news back to their Islamic Communities. That ended the Islamic Jihad in the Philippines. Terrorist incidents from Islamic Fundamentalists were unheard of until a decade ago when the U.S. State Department recognized the PLO as legitimate 'Freedom Fighters' " (Vendyl Jones, RESEARCHER [Arlington, Texas: Vendyl Jones Research Institutes, January 2001]: 20).
