Vladimir Putin
Putin on Chechen extremists, on September 24, 1999: "We'll follow terrorists everywhere. We will corner the bandits in the toilet and wipe them out."
"If you are a Christian, you are in danger. Even if you are an atheist, you are in danger, and if you decide to convert to Islam, this will not save you, either, because traditional Islam is inimical to the conditions and objectives set by the terrorists. If you are prepared to become a most radical Islamist and are prepared to circumcise yourself, I invite you to come to Moscow. I will recommend having the operation done in such a way that nothing will grow for you there anymore." Putin snapping back at a reporter from Le Monde who asked a critical question about the conduct of the war in Chechnya, in November 2002. The quotation was rendered innocuous by his interpreter, but the original was recorded on audio and widely reprinted in Russia
Putin quotes thus.
He knows how to treat insurgents.No deal with the terrorists.Pure guts to send troops to kill terrorists in beslan school hostage crises.no prize for guessing what our government would have done.gift wrap a ransom and parcel some hi-funda criminals for them and hold a victory party.
How can you negotitate with a terrorist?Only a spy knows the only way you negotiate with a terrorist to point a gun at his and...pull the trigger.
But the question is,is he taking the aggressive stance so much so as to kill all those who oppose him?however insignificant they might be?
first Anna Politkovskaya(shot dead) now Litvinenko(poisoned by no less than polonium-210). One was investigating rights violation in Chechen area by Russian forces and the other was blaming the Russian govt of 1999 bombings in Russia.And thats not all, 12 journalists have been killed in russia since 2000!its the third most dangerous place on earth for journalists!
Me personally i don't think Putin would risk such high-profile killings in public just to silence some constantly blabbering journalists(they might be right of course!) that too when his popularity is high in Russia.
But Putin don't think has unlearned what he has learned at FSB,In his own words...

On December 2005, Putin said to a group of FSB officers: "There is no such thing as a former KGB man"
