We've criticized Vladimir Putin from time to time, but let's give credit where it's due: he knows how to deal with terrorist thugs:

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered the country's secret service to locate and kill the Iraqis who executed four Russian diplomats.

Putin issued the order after conferring with Prince Salman bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia in Moscow, the Interfax news agency reported.

Putin also issued a statement saying "Russia would be grateful to all our friends for giving any information on the criminals who killed our citizens in Iraq," Itar-Tass reported.

Has our government issued a similar order to track down and kill the terrorists who kidnapped and murdered Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker? I certainly hope so.
