RBW: We should conclude that ABC has possibly acted illegally, has certainly acted irresponsibly, and has certainly violated the public trust. We should conclude that the American government has fallen short of justice and leadership. We should conclude that Americans are uninformed, but we should not conclude that Americans are malevolent. The only way that most Americans will ever be able to find the North Caucasus on a map is if Survivor films a segment there. Most Americans will never hear of Shamil Basayev, and will never know anything about what is happening in Russia. They want America to maintain good relations with Russia, and they wish all Russians and all Chechens peace and prosperity.
Robert Bruce Ware, commenting on ABC's recent screening of Andrei Babitsky's interview with Chechen guerrilla leader Shamil Basayev.
