USA Today Found Hoax Before Writer Confessed

Former USA Today correspondent Jack Kelley acknowledged through his attorney yesterday that his confession to deceiving his newspaper during an investigation of his reporting came only after being presented with evidence of what he had done. The newspaper, meanwhile, now says that Kelley was forced to quit.

Although USA Today has examined several Kelley stories, the focus remains on his 1999 front-page report that human rights activist Natasa Kandic, who was not named in the article, had obtained "a Yugoslav army three-ring notebook" that "contains a direct order to a lieutenant to 'cleanse' " a village in Kosovo.

Kandic told Kelley and Gallagher at the National Endowment for Democracy in October (2003) that she did not remember meeting the reporter.

I repeat this advice to all who find article which document how bad the other side is.

Before you post them, make sure that the entire article is saved on your computer or another server. This good stuff will disappear into nothing when these articles are exposed.

This is a fascinating bit. I can see that it's being shaped to undermine the USA Today, which is one paper vehemently opposed by the single party state party (the "Democrats"). The NY Times meanwhile pushed (-es?) story after story with lies about global warming, and also had their own little Jason running around lying in person and in print.

The Kosovo intervention was another "wag the dog" operation. It obviously didn't lead toward better ties with Moslems. Our "ally" Greece backed Serbia, while helpful Turkey elected Erdogan et al, and our "allies" in Europe again gave the cold shoulder to Turkish membership in the EU despite the backing of its membership by both Greece and the nonmember US.

The reprehensible Noam Chomsky is another vehement critic of the Kosovo intervention, but I wouldn't say his position is the same as most folks here who opposed it.

One thing the US intervention has done is given Europe a glimpse of what things would be like if we were not around. But look at the election results in France and Germany since we helped stop a major war on European soil. Talk about ingratitude.

Clinton's lame excuse was, "we had to do something." I guess arranging humanitarian aid (such as an airlift of tents, blankets, food, and water, using the US military) wasn't as good as bombing the crap out of the very people he said he wanted to help.

your silence is deafening

What happened at Cuska has been explored more thoroughly than most contemporary war crimes: See A Village Destroyed and Massacre at Cuska.

Can't help it if you're deaf - you're also dumb and blind when it comes to war crimes perpetrated by Serbs.

A bunch of liberal do-gooders ask their KLA provided translators what happened...............and the do-gooders swallow the KLA story hook-line-and-sinker

[bluester]

Maybe because I stopped posting here. Considering everything, that was a wise choice a few months ago...
