The release of at least 26 hostages yesterday left some Beslan resident convulsed in joy, but many more wracked with disappointment. Men and women wept or hugged each other with relief as a man read the names of the freed hostages over a loudspeaker.
The released hostages included toddlers who were naked, apparently because of stifling heat in the school, where the hostage-takers have refused to allow authorities to deliver water, food and medicine for the captives.
One woman went back to be with her children who are still being held. I cannot imagine what I would do if my children were held by terrorists. If anyone can look at this and not call it evil, they have no soul.
