You know Jim, everyone is questioning how the Algerians responded to this incident. I was reading an article on MSN and it looks like the Algerians took a page out of the Russian handbook on how to deal with hostage takers. here's the quote-

"An international outcry mounted over the Algerians' handling of the crisis. Experts noted that this is how they have always dealt with terrorists.
"It's the Russian training for dealing with terrorism," said Matieu Guidere, a longtime expert on al-Qaida and Algeria. "The message is: We will terrorize the terrorists. ... This is clear. The life of hostages is nothing in the balance."
