Bush Grenade Attack Suspect Nabbed

This is good news.

TBILISI, Georgia — Georgian police on Wednesday detained a man suspected of throwing a live grenade during a rally at which President Bush (search) spoke in May, the Interior Ministry said. The capture came after a shootout in which one officer was killed and another wounded.

The suspect was caughgt only two days after his photo was released. Georgian president, Mikhail Saakashvili put out an $80,000 reward for information that led to the thug's capture, so they were taking it very seriously. The article doesn't say whether the the arrest was a result of tips from a citizen who will be getting a very sizeable reward.

The swift and serious response is positive sign. Kyrgyz is still in a lot of turmoil, but the prospects for both Ukraine and Georgia are looking better every day since their recent revolutions. I only hope Putin can keep his heavy thumb off long enough to let the orange and the rose bloom.
