["The "So-called" 8,000 massacred is a lot of bologna and hogwash. Yes, somewhere in the area of 3,000-3,500 or so, were killed but mostly were combatants and victims of war."]

Tom: You're raising a very good point (in general terms). In fact, the BBC continues to claim that 200,000 people were killed during the Balkan wars. This is a complete falsehood.

100,000 Kososo Albanians, missing feared massacred...oppps, sorry, it's really 10,000 K-Albanians were massacred....opppps, zorry, we only found 2,108 bodies, and 22 were from a Serbian mass graves....opppss, we gave the K-Albanians wrong body parts, should we tell them...(UN), so, what happened to the rest?

200,000....I don't think so.....it is a complete falsehood.

The ICTY's star witness was a perjured loon, Erdemovic, who was

a) paid in gold bullion. BTW the VRS was completely broke.
b) his boss ( of the 12 SD ) later worked in Paris as French military intel officer. ( CRIPES, I wonder how likely that was )
and
c) he can't recall why his best friend tried to kill him and some of his buddies a day or so after he supposedly executed a couple of thousand POWs. ( Which should get you thinking either his memory is bunk OR he's concealing something. Either way, it destroys all credibility )
Oh, and
d) he's an ethnic CROAT not a Serb. Indeed for most of the war, his unit had not a single ethnic SERB in it.

There's a billion and one other reasons why his testimony is CRAP but that should give you the general gist.

But to Red6, Erdemovic is a witness from heaven. Wikipedia rave over him too. 'Nuff said.

The highest reliable number I've seen is ~102,000. It includes everyone, from all three sides; civilian and military casualties.
