Reality check here. Do you really think a President of the US and the NATO commander got their "evidence" from the USA Today. Was this story a key event??

I remember that story and it was one that a friend mentioned when they were talking about proof that there was a need to "DO SOMETHING ABOUT KOSOVO".

Now, that clark is running for PREZ... more truth will come out and clark/clinton will be shown up for the bastrds they actually are.

One would hope!

The story was cited by Human Rights Watch as key evidence of direct intent of the government of Rump Yugoslavia/Serbia to commit genocide, vs the Serbian claim of "police action" against Kosovar Albanian separatists.

And yes, unclassified sources, eg, news articles, can and do enter into the US intelligence system. How this particular news piece was subsequently weighed and vetted, you and I will never know.

The Kelley investigation casts doubt on the story about the diary - but it's a stretch to say "Kosovo genocode lies revealed". Beyond Kelley's misconduct in the investigation, it's not conclusive one way or the other.

I am beginning to think that you are most likely correct, Kelley and Blair may not be the only reporters to make up the news to suit the editor's agenda. You can bet that any news reports that support Bush would be vetted, though.

That's a good point, worth repeating. There is a lot of intell to be gained from unclass sources.

So far every piece of evidence against Milosevic and/or Serbia which anybody has managed to completely run to ground has turned out to be fabricated.

The International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic

>>>>He probably thought Natasa Kandic would come through and lie for him anyway, as she is anti-Serb. Who did you say funds her?<<<<<

Natasa kandic is an unindicted criminal responsible for helping cold blooded murder of more than 500 Serb civilians. She is part of George Soros disinformation network the parts of which are:

Hesinki Watch Serbia (Sonja Biserko)

Greek Helsinki Watch
IWPR
Human Rights watch
Numerous paid shills in between

The scam goes like this: Natasa Kandic gets the order to manufacture the fraudulent content. Some obsure newspaper in Serbia prints it. Greek Helsinki Watch dispatch it, without mentioning Natasa Kandic. IWPR further relays it to shills in mainstream media, who report it as fact. Human Rights Watch then includes reports from mainstream media as hard evidence.

After that, it goes into State Department reports and ICTY "documents"

This is worse than anything done under Hitler and Stalin !

I think it is becoming clear that the mainstream US media is nothing more than the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party.

Experience is a wonderful teacher. The US mainstream media is as you say, and has been for longer than you or I have been alive. It is a matter of fact.

Even one of the most celebrated Journalists (receiving an award for his articles and his 'truthfullness') pointed this fact out at the award ceremony for him, some 50 or 60 years ago.

Well, I know for a fact that he sure didn't get his info from the CIA or FBI.

So, where did he get his info, since the above is a known fact?

USA Today might be a good guess,huh?

This is a great point that many people aren't even aware of; and that is good ol' George Soros' role in the Kosovo war. This man who calls Bush a Nazi for the war in Iraq, not only fincances Human Rights Watch--which played an important role in drumming up humitarian support for the war--he also financed Albanian separatists, who themselves are guilty of war crimes. But what's new, Mr. Soros also financed the x-year annivesary celebration of Stalin's death. In what was suppose to be a tribute to the victims of Stalin's regime, turned into a tribute for Uncle Joe. I believe this man is possibly the most dangerous man on the planet.

Timesink, you need to go the link that Alouette has in her reply 36.

This is so blatant and bad. It is beyond the normal drivel and lies of USA Lies Today.

Thanks, Alouette for the ping to this link.

This is an excellent example of my tagline.

USAToday removed the "evil settlers" piece from their archive.

You can still find it on electronicintifada and indymedia sites, though.

Somebody needs to FReep honestreporting.com to rescind the commendation they gave Jack Kelley 4 years ago
