I understood that. Let me clarify: I was saying that the bombing Mr. Biriukov is accused of -could-, at least, have been a provocateur incident. To support that assertion, I pointed out that the Putin gov't has been accused of provocateur bombings before -- the Summer/Autumn 99 bombings. I agree, though, that rumors of atrocity don't make much of a logical defense. ~Mr. Bad -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /\____/\ Mr. Bad <mr.bad@pigdog.org> \ / Pigdog Journal | http://pigdog.org/ | *Stay*Real*Bad* | (X \x) ( ((**) "If it's not bad, don't do it. \ <vvv> If it's not crazy, don't say it." - Ben Franklin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
