>>>>>>The photos were of mass graves at Izbica and Pusto Selo. Milosevic & Serb apologists screamed fake. <<<<<<

Anyone seeng the photos and capable of using advanced features of Photoshop was screaming "fake" also. "Recon" photos were sloppily done, the shadow lengths were not matching the season and time of the day, and temperature signature was wrong.

The question is: if those were indeed mass graves, why the photos were doctored?

THE HAGUE, April 24 (AFP) - Several photos distributed by NATO and said to show possible mass graves in Kosovo could be fake, the Dutch daily Algemen Dagblad said Saturday.

The paper based its claims on analyses carried out by a map expert specializing in the study of satellite photos, who examined four pictures taken over the Kosovo villages of Pusto Selo and Izbica.

NATO showed two photos of each village. In each case, one of the photos shows the area before the alleged graves were dug and the second, taken several days later, appears to show a number of freshly dug graves. According to the expert, identified only as E. Burie, the most recent photos displayed worrying inconsistencies.

He said that in the second picture of the Pusto Selo village, there is a house which does not feature in the image taken a few days before. He said: "Either the Kosovars had time between the massacres to build a house in a few nights, or the photo has been manipulated." He said the photo of Izbica showing rows of graves had "touch-up work which could only be the result of two different pictures being superimposed."

Burie, who runs a studio in the central Dutch town of Almere specialising in work for the country's top publishers and for military maps, could not be reached for comment.

Italian General Giuseppe Marani, a NATO spokesman, said on April 18 that the alliance had photos of 43 sites in Kosovo which featured "very clear rows of individual tombs facing southeast, that is, towards Mecca."

Serbs digging individual graves pointing toward Mecca?

One needs Florida temperature IQ to believe such bold faced lie.

Fine, you can believe NATO used photo-shop to doctor up the imagery showing a mass grave at Izbice.

Now explain how the bodies of the Albanians killed at Izbice ended up in mass graves on the grounds of a Serb special police training facility outside Belgrade.
