I guess I will have to when I am staring at rewritten PoS by my least-favorite newspaper:
"Bomber kills 35 at Russian airport; 168 hurt; President calls suicide attack a terrorist act" by Ellen Barry, New York Times / January 25, 2011
MOSCOW — A suicide bomber attacked Moscow’s busiest airport yesterday, killing at least 35 people and wounding 168 more, injecting new pain into a country already split along ethnic lines.
There was no indication last night of who was behind the blast. But past terrorist attacks have been traced to militants in the North Caucasus, a predominantly Muslim region in the south of Russia....

Or was it "Al-CIA-Duh"-linked groups?
The bombing inflicted a deep injury on Moscow’s image just as President Dmitry A. Medvedev prepared to woo foreign investors at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. He gave brief televised remarks almost immediately, telling Russians that he believed the blast was a terrorist act.
And though scheduled to give a keynote address in Davos tomorrow, Medvedev postponed his trip to manage the aftermath of the attack.
Russia’s leaders have struggled, with a good measure of success, to keep militants from the North Caucasus from striking in the heartland. But Moscow had been on edge even before the attacks, after ethnic Russian nationalists lashed out violently at migrants from the troubled region in mid-December.

In March, two female suicide bombers detonated themselves on the city’s subway, killing more than 40 people — an act that the Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov claimed to have ordered, promising Russians that “the war will come to your streets.’’

*************
Such attacks have strengthened the influence of Russian security forces and Prime Minister Vladimir V. Putin by firmly establishing security as the country’s top priority....
Is it me or is the Zionist propaganda organ I call a newspaper implying an inside job there?
Of course, the same is never pointed out about AneriKa when it comes to 9/11 and all the tyrannical mon$tro$itie$ that have come since, right?

"Medvedev criticizes airport security after attack, then eases off; Russia president takes tough line against terrorism" by Will Englund and Kathy Lally, Washington Post / January 26, 2011
MOSCOW — The number of attacks in Russia, many of which attract little attention, has been increasing sharply.
Each major attack brings a strengthening of central authority, said Ilya Yashin, the leader of the youth wing of Solidarity, an opposition party. “And yet we have bombs in the center of Russia,’’ he said. “Not a single Russian has a feeling of security.’’
I'm secure only in the fact that I now know "terrorism" is created, funded, and directed by western intelligence agencies.
He said he worries that the government might exploit the bombing by banning demonstrations, possibly revoking the Russian Constitution article that guarantees freedom of assembly.
Do they have their Patriot Act already written and ready to roll?
Vladimir Ryzhkov, another opposition leader and a former speaker of the State Duma, or lower house of parliament, said he doesn’t expect further clampdowns on freedoms.
The problem, he said, is that nothing will be done about terrorism, either. “There will be no real reaction, no reforms, no good changes. That means in the coming months we will have another attack.’’
Domodedovo was back to normal yesterday afternoon. One difference, though, was noticeable: The metal detectors were operating, and everyone walked through them.
Why aren't they being $canned?

Wow, those were the same guys that were in charge of American airport security on 9/11 and the airports the underwear bomber slipped through. What a "coincidence."
Of course, none of those things ever make my newspaper:
"Russia unbowed by blast, leader says; At business forum, call for investment" by Angela Charlton and Frank Jordans, Associated Press / January 27, 2011
DAVOS, Switzerland— Somber and measured in his first keynote speech to the World Economic Forum, President Dmitry Medvedev listed the reasons why foreign companies should inject badly needed funds into a country plagued by corruption and too dependent on oil — and where investors have been burned time and again by a heavy-handed state.
I wish we had a heavy-handed state in AmeriKa, rather than one that gets on all fours for Wall Street.
It may be a hard sell at a meeting of 2,500 people focused on China’s growing clout, simmering anxieties about Europe’s debt morass, and the fallout of a financial crisis that left masses jobless.
But bankers are raking down record bonuses.
Even before the blast at Moscow’s biggest airport Monday killed 35 people, some Davos participants were worried about Russia’s business climate. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, but suspicion has fallen on Islamist separatists from the restive Caucasus region who have been battling Russian authority for more than 15 years....
Coming from my Zionist War Daily that's an exoneration.

"Caucasus region viewed in bomb case" by Associated Press / January 28, 2011
MOSCOW — Investigators looking into the deadly bombing at a Moscow airport are studying up to 10 people from the volatile Caucasus region as possible suspects, a Russian state news agency reported yesterday.
Suspicions in the Monday blast at Domodedovo Airport that killed 35 people and wounded 180 initially fell on Chechen rebels who have claimed responsibility for an array of deadly attacks over the years, including ones against the Moscow subway and at the same airport.
No one has claimed responsibility for this attack and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, perhaps sensitive about his failure to contain Chechnya’s Islamist rebellion, insisted Wednesday there was no initial indication of a Chechen connection.
However, Chechen rebels have inspired Islamist insurgent activity elsewhere in the Caucasus and the state RIA Novosti agency said up to 10 people from there are being viewed as possible suspects.
The Kommersant newspaper reported yesterday that police attention is focusing on an insurgent group called the Nogai Brigade, which reportedly observes the strict Wahhabi form of Islam.
Oh, no, another "Al-CIA-Duh."
The group emerged in the early part of the last decade in the Stavropol region and sided with Chechen separatist groups.
Right around 9/11, huh?

So who are they going to finger?
"Russia identifies airport bomber; Foreigners believed to be target in attack" by Ellen Barry, New York Times / January 30, 2011
We started in s***, why not end in it?
MOSCOW — Russian authorities yesterday announced that they had identified a 20-year-old native of the North Caucasus region as the suicide bomber who killed 35 people at Domodedovo Airport’s international arrivals hall — a location chosen specifically because it gave the opportunity to kill foreigners.
They did not announce the man’s name, saying that the authorities were seeking to detain “organizers and accomplices’’ who were involved in the attack.
Not what I heard, NYT.

Hey, what's one more lie from AmeriKa's flagship?
Concentrating on foreigners would be a departure for the insurgency — though foreigners have previously been caught in mass attacks, like the 2002 siege of a Moscow theater, there has never been any suggestion that they were the target.
But militants in the North Caucasus have already made it clear they are changing their tactics to include high-profile attacks on civilians.
The vast majority of insurgent attacks still target the police and other state officials in the tumultuous southern region, one that has long chafed under Moscow’ s control. But the militant leader Doku Umarov last year warned the residents of central Russia that “the war will come to your streets.’’
The vow was borne out by a November 2009 bombing on a luxury train on its way to St. Petersburg and a double suicide bombing last March in the Moscow subway.
The airport bombing — at a glittering showcase facility on the eve of President Dmitry Medvedev’s speech at the World Economic Forum — appears specifically geared to attract global attention.
Among the factors driving the Caucasus militants to stage dramatic attacks is a generational shift, as veterans of the secular Chechen separatist movement are replaced by younger men who are adherents of fundamentalist Islam, said Mark Galeotti, a specialist in Russian security issues who leads New York University’s Center for Global Affairs.
I'm hurrying now and commenting less because I'm sick of seeing propaganda masquerading as news.
“There’s a sense that the West isn’t going to care about us, so why are we bothering being cautious,’’ Galeotti said. “When foreigners get killed, it’s more of a news story, and also it’s more embarrassing for Moscow — given that the rebels are already revving themselves up to do something at Sochi,’’ where Russia is hosting the Olympics in 2014.
The investigative committee offered no information about the bomber other than his age and origins.
A two-fer!
Video of the site of the bombing showed that he stood for as long as 15 minutes in a crowd of people waiting to greet passengers disembarking from international flights.
Among those killed were citizens of Britain, Ukraine, Germany, Austria, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.
