VT media frenzy: Sowing the wind

Any terrorist pondering an American Beslan has learned two things this week:

1.It is a good way to get publicity.

2. American schools remain easy targets eight years after Columbine

Question for NBC:

If a jihadi sent you a press kit before he killed 30 kids, would you give him a platform and play his video?

Questions for everyone:

1. Is it time to rethink the criticism that the Russians received for their handling of Beslan?

2. Are we going to do anything serious about this vulnerability?
