More of the South Ossetian War

Great video from Reuters:



Read the article here.

Also, I'm hopeing this isn't related but I highly doubt it's not, but I was listening to Echo Moskvy - the only remaining liberal radio station that broadcasts internationally that I'm aware of - and on the air were a lot of comments about how Russians were pissed at the apparent confusion in their government's response to the crises. Essentially, they were unsure of who to listen to: Putin or Medvedev. This has been repeated in a few of the articles I've read today on the subject, most notably in the NYT's four page summary published today.

Well, now it's not on the air. At all. I can only hear static. There's been nothing in the news about it, but I'd be curious to know if it's not broadcasting in Russia either, or if their international or internet feed is down.
