Regarding the KURSK tragedy....

As a norwegian, I have a sincere interest in the actions of the Russian millitary, and the Russian nawy in particular. For many years, Russian subs have patrolled Norwegian territories, for purposses unknown. There have even been millitary submarines in the Oslo bay at broad daylight. It seemes obvious that the Russian authorities never intended to rescue anyone from Kursk, no more than they wanted the sub to surface ever again. (Wich might be just as well, concidering the risk of radioactive pollution) And what the hell were they doing anyway, prepearing to launch torpedoes in international waters, with foreign ships an population nearby?

These are dangerous times.
