Crosland is a very credible witness. Had dozens of visits to Kosovo in 1998-99, to include spending days at a time with the KLA.

He spent two days on the stand (July 10th and July 15th)testifying against Milosevic in 2002 as to the Serb operations aimed against the civilian population in Kosovo and the wanton destruction of Kosovar villages & farms & livestock, etc. Most damaging to Milosevic, Crosland also testified that the chain of command went directly from Milosevic to the 3d Army Commander (responsible for Kosovo) and avoided the VJ high command.

Interestingly, given how this subject is treated by some FReepers, Crosland spoke of seeing widespread destruction to include a village literally bulldozed to the ground in Kosovo, but when he returned to Belgrade, Serbs would insist such things were not taking place.

Besides testifying as to what he saw, Crosland takes advantage of his time on the stand to rip Serb tactics in Kosovo; i.e. over-reliance on heavy caliber firepower caused lots of damage to civilians, but little to the KLA; attacked villages where perhaps some KLA might have been while actual KLA checkpoints on roads were left alone; forced expulsion of civilian population into the hills and heavy damage to villages & civilian infrastructure alienated the people and drove up recruitment for the KLA.
