I can't think.

Here is some of the Russian coverage I have been avid to see since I first saw the dreaded news bulletin about the attack.

From RIA Novosti:

"Moscow has expressed condemnation and deep concern in regard to the incident in international waters, first of all taking into account of the large number of dead and injured among the participants of the humanitarian caravan," Pankin said, adding: "It is obvious that using weapons against civilians and seizing ships on the open seas without any legal basis are considered severe breaches in common international legal norms."

Pankin said Russia sees the incident as confirmation of the fact that Israel must stop the blockade in the Gaza Strip and make genuine steps in easing the humanitarian and social situation for the residents of the region.

Why the fuck can't that be a quote from Hillary Clinton in the NYT?

Hmm? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH EVERYBODY?

More Russian state media coverage....

Sling shots and marbles, a length of less than one-inch pipe, something that looks like a bar ripped from the ship itself, a broom handle and possibly a hammer. One IDF fuck with a boo-boo on his cheek and another, who might not even BE an IDF fuck, a little bloodier.

All stuff, obviously, grabbed when they were coming under fire from commandos dropping from helicopters.

From earlier reports and video footage, we know one for certain and probably two were already dead BEFORE the IDF hit their decks. So, you'll pardon my apparent bloody-mindedness here in stating that these "weapons" were the self-defense.

Al Jazeera has been live blogging this whole mess.
