About the heavy missile artillery , I've read this morning in French newspaper "le canard enchainé" that US officers assisted the Georgian army to set the attack, citing anonymous sources in French army HQ in Paris...

No not TV news, but print and online.The first note of it was this:

I then saw it the same day and one day later mentioned in two other online resources as well, but cannot find it anymore since I did not remember which papers it was, or sites. The women in that interview was not the only one saying so.

She also says in that article that it were not the russians committing crimes aginst the civilians, but militias - with the russians forming cordons in an attempt to keep the militias away from them. she also says that the numbers of killed people is exaggeated, judging by the records of the hospitals they visited. Projecting these records to the full pictures she says that the number of killed (at that point of time) were not two thousand but rather several dozen.

I think I had linked that article before.

A critical voice confirming her views also was that of some speaker for some organization I overheared in radio by chance. What I mean is: she is not as alone with her views as one ight think, but in the West it has become en vogue to blame it all on the russians. This is becasue of a clever sentimental PR campaign by Saakashvilli, and American pressure to favour a wanted "truth". Gorbatchev has rightfully complained about this in the essay by him that I linked some days ago.
