Saw it on CNN about 2:30 eastern this afternoon... ran as a companion piece to the georgian hottie gettin nipped on the arm while on the air. No link yet. Also saw a report on another russian column in the west heading in the wrong direction for a withdrawl a few minutes ago.

... all under the 'breaking news' drama music.

*sigh*

Is it same video that has been playing for past two days? Because I'm also watching CNN and FOX ...fox reporting one thing, while CNN is saying completely opposite.

Here's turkish crew getting shotup ...no idea by whom. (those comments most of time are wrong)

I'm guessing that video is pretty new since the comments are only minutes old. It also says it took place in South Ossetia, maybe it was Ossets shooting at them? I can't tell by the uniforms that you see. Apparently they were not only shot at, but also taken into custody.

Just like the Iraq debates, there are people on both sides of the fence......

I really feel for all the Famillies on both sides who lost loved ones are about to lose loved ones, Once this clears up then it's business as usual for everyone else apart from them who will never have their Family members back.
Quiet tragic really in this day and age.

Tell that to the Czechs in 1968, the Hungarians in 1956, the Afghans.....

Somehow I doubt those people would be laughing.

Oh i dont think we should go down that route if you think about it for a sec.

Russians points are valid... all sources are suspect; east, west, local, foreign.. seems like everybody has a dog in the race now.

We're forced to be our own filters... harkens back to the good old days of summer outside yankee stadium... 'programs, programs... get your programs here; can't tell the players without a program..."

I gotta tell yah, lookin at the screen; it's mighty tough to tell who the players are without a 'program'; what with all sides using the same equipment.

So this is the video where the georgian _separatists_ rob the reporters at gunpoint and shoot the escaping one in the back while supporting russians sit next to it watching? Interesting that you should bring it up.

Sounds like it... voice over commentary matches your description, dunno who the players actually were though.

I'll have to agree. I was watching earlier Fox news and they were telling that Russian forces are advancing towards Gori and they are showing old T62 tank crewed by what it seems - Osetians.
