The reason that I don’t believe that I am being hypocritical in posting this article is that it goes against the leftwing bias that HRW often has. Let me give an example from another context to illustrate what I mean. If Al Gore were to write an article admitting that a new scientiffic study made very credible and persuasive argumentst AGAINST global warming we post his admission all over the net. In doing this we would not be hypocritical or admitting that Al Gore is less biased then we thought. Instead, it is Al Gore’s extreme bias in favor of Global Warming that would make any admissions that he made AGAINST global warming so very persuasive.

You are equating anti-Serb sentiment with left-wing bias and that is hardly the case. Separatists who fought the Serbs are not leftists but rather nationalists. The very lies that were perfected against the Serbs are now being thrown around at other nationalists who broke away from Serb domination. This article you posted does not in any way deviate from Human Rights Watch’s perpetual left-wing bias.

Let me put it this way. When the Democrat Bill Clinton was President and he supported the Kosovo Albanians against the Serbs, Human Rights Watch attacked the Serbs. Now that Republican George Bush is President and he supports the Kosovo Albanians against the Serbs, Human Rights Watch attacks the Kosovo Albanians.

Coincidence? I think not.
