Thanks. From your link:

The 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 7,000 Muslim males was inexcusable...

Your author accepts that the Serbs committed the massacre, but places it in context: the Muslims also committed atrocities.

The Bosnian Serb government was selected and threatened by Paddy Ashdown until they agreed to everything the international community said. It was not an independent report.

There was an initial independent report which stated no massacre and found such things as how Muslims killed or missing in skirmishes/battles years before the fall were included as being victims of July 1995.

But after this report came out, they Serbs were forced to rewrite it, and those who didn't agree were fired.

As for the plea agreements with the ICTY, many of those people were ethnic Croats such as Drazen Erdemovic. There was a unit which operated independently and was intially began with no Serbs at all. Only towards the end were Serbs who'd served in the French Foreign Legion added.

It appears they were receiving payments from the French.

I believe they did do some killing of the Muslim on their way to Tuzla, but not in the large numbers they plead to, the agreement to the large numbers is used to bolster the propaganda and lies, and the men in turn get a light sentence and benefits - and that's all they have to serve for their probably crimes in or around Srebrenica.

Drazen Erdemovic is a free man with a new identity because he said what the Hague wanted him to and helped pushed the Srebrenica propaganda.

Even the latest man in the news who is being jailed in the U.S. and claimed to have been involved in the Srebrenica massacre is a Croat who was part of Drazen Erdemovic's group.

The group was so independent, and Erdemovic served in the Bosnian Muslim army and then with the Croats before. I don't see any proof that they were controlled or paid by the Serbs.

U.S. court jails Bosnian Croat immigrant

BOSTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- A U.S. court jailed a Bosnian Croat immigrant for five years for providing false information about his role in the 1992-95 Bosnian war, Serbian media said.

The court in Boston on Monday sentenced Marko Boskic, 41, to five years and three months in prison for keeping secret his participation in Bosnian Serb units that reportedly massacred some 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica in July 1995, the Serbian news agency Beta reported Tuesday.

Boskic lived in Peabody, Mass., and was arrested in August 2004, on charges he lied on his application for refugee status and permanent residence.

Boskic claimed he was detained in a concentration camp held by Bosnian Serbs, who threatened to kill him if he did not take part in the Srebrenica massacre, Beta said.

U.S. authorities said after serving his prison time, Boskic could be deported to Bosnia-Herzegovina, where a district court in the northern town of Tuzla has begun investigating his role in the Srebrenica massacre, the report said.
