i've long thought Karimov was the worst deal with the devil we made in the war on terror.
the andijen massacre was public and in the MSM, but he had quietly been repressing the hell out of that country, but as long as he was tactically necessary, we didn't say too much. to me, it's SOA all over again. we help penny ante dictators get better at controling communist insurgents/terrorists, and then they go around and just rape American nuns/kill their own citizens.
i hope this marks the beginning of a new chapter in our attitude, one of confrontation of the serious problems going on in Karimov's regime.
