I hate beating a dead horse...

...but the damn thing's still twitching.

Russia still hasn't left Georgia. In fact, in the news today is a story that Russian troops took Georgian troops prisoner, blindfolded them, held them at gunpoint, "and commandeered American Humvees awaiting shipment back to the United States."

Even as "a small column of Russian tanks and armored vehicles left the strategic Georgian city of Gori in the first sign of a Russian pullback of troops from Georgia after a cease-fire intended to end fighting that reignited Cold War tensions" and "... also exchanged prisoners captured during their brief war," Russian troops in the oil port of Poti destroyed Georgian naval vessels, radar, and protective emplacements (and, likely, civilian infrastructure).
