War Crimes Prosecutor Under Investigation By UN

[thoughtomator]

Sourced or not, this is utterly believable for anyone who has been following the sordid career or Del Ponte.

[johniegrad]

There is nothing in their press releases.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Ahhh yes. The FR vetting process at work. Doesn't look like we are the medium with the ethics problems.

[End Times Sentinel]

Certainly seems believeable, but I'd like a source before I spread this around.

Certainly seems believeable, but I'd like a source before I spread this around.

[johniegrad]

I am of two minds about this. It may not be a bad idea to get information that can't be sourced from insiders. This allows us to take the lead on news stories and subject them to our own form of review.

On the other hand, it is very easy to forward an alleged copy of an e-mail with a political agenda in mind hoping that a large forum will run with the story. The downside is obviously damage done to FR credibility when the story turns out not to be true.

Overall, I guess I prefer to see us debunk stories like document forgeries by the MSM and terrorist captures of dolls. I think this is preferable to being the "firstest with the wrongest".

[cyncooper]

Thanks for the ping. I see the purported source is posted at #16. Will stay tuned, as they say.

Forged documents, hm? Seems to be the "in" thing.

Here's a scary thought:

x42 as head of the UN...

Hitlery as president of the US...

Be afraid. Be very, very afraid!

[getgoing]

what's going on here? Found a link, still no source: http://cryptome.org/delponte.htm

also see http://cryptome.org/cviti%E6-lies.htm

Hitlery as president of the US...

This possibility is REAL DANGER.

Luckilly, Bubba can not become UN Secretary General as long as he has U.S. citizenship. Citizens of the permanent Security Council members can not become UN Secretary General. It was built in safeguard against Ruskies and Chicoms

[Dubh_Ghlase]

If they can talk about the Govinator for prez, they can talk up x42 for UN sec-gen.

Remember (and this is really scary): To these folks, the rules doe not apply to them...

>>>>>what's going on here?<<<<<

I do not know. Let me guess. Even if I am all wrong, this may serve as a food for thought.

1. this is not only direct attack on Carla Del Putana but on President Mesic as well. Could be that the folks who lost recent presidental election in Croatia are angry. (Their putana did not win). So, it could be internal Croatian powerplay, aimed at Croatian diaspora.

2. MI-6 was badly embarrased in Croatia and Serbia and tries to brew more trouble. In Serbia, it is Beba Popovic blasphemous interview. This could be Croatian version.

3. Gotovina has a strong lobby among Croatian diaspora in U.S.

Jeffrey T. Kuhner ( a Croat from Canada) is one of the more prominent mouthpieces. He is eloquent enough to write something like this, but not under his real name.

4. Last but not least, this may be true. The question is WHY CARLA DEL PUTANA USED FORGED DOCUMENTS WHEN THERE IS ENOUGH OF WHITER THAN WHITE EVIDENCE TO INDICT GOTOVINA? Planted evidence would be effective way to get war criminal off the hook. Points 3 and 4 may be part of the same plan: Plant fake evidence, make it known, embarras prosecutor, get Gotovina out. it would not be for the first time that Croatian criminals walk free. Few if any were arrested after WWII, owing to similar tricks. The best known is the case of "Croatian Himmler" Andrija Artukovic, who was accused for the crimes he did not commit and thus sheltered from being prosecuted for the crimes he did commit (genocide and the crimes against humanity).

Freepers who read Croatian should monitor Cro newsgroups to get a drift of this.

Until the source and the author are disclosed, IMHO this "report" has to be treated as NATIONAL ENQUIRER story.

[DTA]

Welcome to FR. Does your screen name refer to

"I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them."

This is rather strong statement for fruitful discussion.

Alternative #5:

Connection to this maybe

"Del Ponte Threatens to Spill Beans on Karadzic Hunt"

[Mr. Lucky]

If you claim this to be a news article, why can't you give us the source where the article actually ran?

Otherwise, this appears to be a rather clumsy attempt to publish a rumor.

[Diocletian]

We knew all along that Del Ponte was determined to get the innocent Gotovina into The Hague

Americans, please take note: never, ever put your trust into The Hague and the UN...learn from how they are framing Croatians, amongst others. They wish to do the same to your generals and your political leaders.

[Ezekiel2517]

As I said earlier, you can confirm the story by calling the UN directly, at (212) 963-1111.

As for the screen name, it comes from Pulp Fiction. I'm a Tarrantino fan.

[Hoplite]

Croatians, please take note: If you're going to accept military training from American companies, you'll also have to accept American norms as far as the rules of land warfare, and command responsibility.

Sorry, Dio - Gotovina's either going to come in from the cold, or keep Croatia there. This "innocents, wronged" line of yours just doesn't cut it.

[kosta50]

And the beat goes on ... we will hunt down the leaders, but the guys who actually pulled the trigger will go free.

[Hoplite]

If the "unidentified witness" is dead, how come he's still unidentified?

Croatia must have some pretty robust confidentiality laws.
