FIDE, ECU and WWCC Organizing Committee in La La Land!

If you haven't already read their issued statements in response to a heart-felt open letter published at Chessbase on August 12, 2008 by several Georgian women chess players who asked that the location of the Women's World Chess Championship be moved from Nalchik to a place of greater safety, I've got all the words of the fearless chess leaders (that I sincerely will one day come back to bite them on their big fatt butts) recorded along with a history of the events at Chess Femme News. Susan Polgar also has been following developments in her blog. A blogger at Chessvine.com wrote about the situation too and posted a comment here. Yesterday the Parrot at Chessville (a/k/a Phil Innes) wrote about the situation too in his latest (8/16/08) column. Does the United States Chess Federation have anything to say about the subject? I would be interested to know if the Executive Board is willing to take a stand and publicly urge FIDE to move the WWCC to a safer location or, at the very least, a neutral location so that players from all countries will feel comfortable and welcome (and safe).
