The pictures showed "that at least one of the bodies was later moved. This body did not appear in the OSCE pictures."
"El Salvador" Walker was sloppy.
Clinton's Kosovo legacy exposed.

Well, Dr. Ranta has talked much more extenively in court and in other interviews. Heres a very brief synopsis of her conclusions from her testimony at the Hague:
In Court, she stated that the scene had not been staged. The victims were shot where their bodies were found. Their clothing was not changed after death and there were no indications of people being other than unarmed civilians. Her team compared bullets dug out of the ground beneath the bodies with those recovered from bodies and found they had identical markings.
You can read a report of her testimony here.
or if you really like reading, here is the transcript of her trial testimony.
And heres a couple articles in which Dr. Ranta replies to what she calls all the nonsense about Racak.

Maybe there was some fighting that happened shortly before the Racak incident or massacre. Maybe that led up to it.

Maybe there was some fighting that happened shortly before the Racak incident or massacre. Maybe that led up to it. By the way, how do we know that some of the corpses weren't KLA? Don't some KLA members wear civilian clothes?
To: Jacob Kell
There was some fighting that morning. Serb forces came in early and caught the KLA off-guard and killed several of them. That is not the issue however. Later in the day there were some scattered killings of civilians in the village and then a massacre of a larger group just outside the village. The evidence is
irrefutable.

Thanks for the information and the links!

Several - an indefinite number more than two and fewer than many
What is the issue here, then? Serbs surprised and kill some (several) of Albanian terrorist you say. What happened to those bodies? Are they included in final body count? If yes then not all of killed were unarmed civilians, several of them were armed terrorist. If not, why such important information (Racak as terrorist camp and fighting between government forces and terrorists) was withheld? If I read Ranta correctly then there is possibility that some of fallen Serbian soldiers were dressed in civilian clothes and presented as killed Albanians. Why didnt she voice these concerns during her appearance at so-called Hague tribunal?
As for your claim:
The evidence is irrefutable.
I beg to differ.
This is what I got typing Racak into Google
http://www.google.ca/search?q=racak&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&meta= Tons of links refuting you.

Later in the day there were some scattered killings of civilians in the village and then a massacre of a larger group just outside the village. The evidence is irrefutable. As near as I can tell doing my own investigations, Serbs are the closest thing there are to civilized people in the Balkans, and every single one of the various accusations of atrocities against them appear to be fabricated. The story of the "Racak massacre" in my judgement is fabricated. The worst case of all is the case of Trnolpoje, a supposed "Bosnian Serb death camp, which upon closer inspection turned out to be a sort of a refugee waystation or hostel at which Serbs were caring for refugees of all stripes at their own expense.
Even Joseph Goebbels would be ashamed to tell a lie that grandiose. The big question is, once you understand how two or three of these stories actually work and what kind of people are behind them: Which of these bullshit stories are we supposed to go on believing?
How stupid do they think we are?

Damn!!!! The flood gates are loose!!!!! RACAK IS A HOAX!!! FREE SLOBO!!!!!
During the days before beginning of the NATO attacks on Yugoslavia it was clear "that a whole series of governments had an interest in a version of Racak events which held only the Serbian side responsible," said Ranta. "However, I could not provide them with this version." She had gotten her instructions from the German diplomat, Ambassador Pauls, the representative of the German EU presidency of that time, who asked her to prepare a written statement.

Go primary source. Read Dr. Ranta's transcript linked above. Read the statements of the people who were there. Some are at the ICTY web-site and Human Rights Watch has collected interviews from survivors; some of their quotes are in the first report at
this link.

Yes. Free Slobo. From this mortal coil. Immediately.

The Road to Racak was a prequel to
The Road to Jenin Hoax I wonder how that woman sleeps at night. With her silence, she became an accomplice in murder of more than 500 civilians and destruction of livelihood of millions.

Maybe the Serb security forces thought that the people of Racak were KLA sympathisers. Not that I'm whitewashing atrocities.
