Was Russia right to use gas?

I guess that's the bottom line. We agree to disagree.

And, Brad, sir, it is I who should salute you. I got out while the world was still reasonably sane. I couldn't do the job the way it is today.

great job by the russians.
the use of gas and than directly punish the stunned terrorist´s and shoot them !!.
thats the way to handle such a situation.
the loss is very high, but it is still better than all hostages are killed by one of those "woman-bombs"
to show the other terrorists what they have to expect.
my respect for the alpha team who killed those bastards instantly .
IMO no mercy to all terrorists

I saw on a news popup today that many of those thought to have been killed by the gas, were actually killed by a spray of shots fired by one of the people holding them. Approximately half. The news came out when survivors that witnessed the event. It was wrong for the Russians to use gas, not knowing the possible outcome. But if they hadn't, a good 700 people might be dead today. Question: how did a small group of people hold over 700 people hostage? regardless of their weapons, something could have been done. Think 9-11 flight that crashed in Shanksville PA

As my personal opinion they had the right to use the gas (it was actually their only possibility, as far as I can see) BUT they SHOULD HAVE TOLD the medical personnel how to treat the people who got their doze of it. From what I know the medical staff were informed about the gas only a couple of minutes before the assault and even today they don't know what gas it was. So a fifty-fifty -kinda of situation with the gas, otherwise 75-25 for Russia considering that it would have been 100-0 for the terrorists if they had the time to explode the bombs.
