#2 OK, they unleashed Ossetian paras on Georgian villages (as already reported) and now they would try to present that as evidence?

I suppose they are feverishly manufacturing the images of exactly 1400 (2000, 2600?) dead Ossetians from the first night, as fast as their Ossetian goons can supply the corpses.

One glitch, though. A chief of the Tskhinvali hospital already gave count on August 9 -- 47 dead in the hospital morgue and 278 treated for injuries.
