Verdict was that LM HURT HER FEELINGS, not that LM lied and printed untruth.

Wrong answer, DTA.

The thrust of LM's article was that Marshall et al misrepresented what they saw:

It was not a prison, and certainly not a 'concentration camp', but a collection center for refugees, many of whom went there seeking safety and could leave again if they wished.

ITN therefore took LM to court where Hume and Deichmann recanted the thesis of their article.

There has never been any question in my opinion or in the article that I published that this camp was anything other than a grim place at which there were beatings, there were killings and there were rapes. There has never been any question of that. We have never argued contrary to that. - Michael Hume

I do not say that they at the time were able to leave and there - you know, there were fences, there were guards, which we have seen here, armed guards. - Thomas Deichmann

In short, Serbs operated concentration camps in Bosnia, Marxists tried to cover their asses by accusing those who reported on those camps of lying, but were ultimately forced to admit that they themselves were the ones who were lying - a complete abject defeat which only the stupid or the ignorant overlook in their attempts to reinsert LM's garbage into public debate.

Correct hoplite. It’s quite interesting that some will resort to out and out Marxist slander to bolster their weak positions.

>>>>>In short, Serbs operated concentration camps in Bosnia<<<<<

Trnopolje was advertised as DEATH CAMP and labeled BELSEN by the British media. The name of Belsen was used because it is synonym with the Holocaust in Britain (Brits liberated Belsen).

The death camp (i.e. extermination camp) s different thing from concentration camp. Americans operated concentration camps in The Philippines and Brits operated concentration camps in Boer war, but these were not death camps, although people died there.

Calling Trnopolje BELSEN was the brazen act of Holocaust revisionism that went unpunished.

If Trnopolje=Belsen, then Belsen=Trnopolje.

Get a fresh set of kneepads.
