Hoplite, Webster's dictionary defines BIZARRE as "involving sensational contrasts or incongruities"

When various media reports about the same event contain incongruities showing them is not bizzare. It is analytical. I apologise if analythical aproach is all greek to you.

Bfore your attempt to disrupt the thered, we were discussing obvious flaws in Kandic accusation:

1. Children were brought by Serbs to Serb hospital. Those who found them should testify of circumstances, i.e. who killed other family members.

2. Bogojevci brothers (Fathers of the children)are witnesses for the crime they did not witness (they fled several hours before)

3. One witness was not positive wether she recognised alleged murderer from the crime scene or from somewhere else. Her surname is reported as Bogojevci and Duriqi in two non-related reports.

4. Bogojevci were allowed to settle permanently in Britain. Why if they are not in danger. If they are in danger of political persecution, by whom?

One says that it was a Serb police doctor who organized the ambulances for rescuing the survivors. Now, if the Serb police wanted Albanians killed, why would a Serb police doctor and Serb ambulances rescue the survivors?

Now, if these rescuers were made to testify, they could describe the scene, and if they saw anyone fleeing. Also, I wonder if the Albanian children mentioned how long after they were shot that the rescuers arrived. Those who were shooting them, they say, wanted them dead and they had to play dead. Obviously the attackers didn't check them close up for signs of life like the police doctor, as he found 5 of them alive.

Fatos' recollection, while feigning death, is that the Serbs received a message on their walkie-talkies, stopped shooting and left. The next thing they knew was a Serb police doctor organising an ambulance for the survivors. The doctor offered Saranda a fizzy drink.

Selatin and Safet escaped summary execution by fleeing home a few hours before the Scorpions arrived. Selatin says that at 10am that fateful morning, when his wife, mother, and daughter were shot, he was hiding in another house a mere 300 metres away and knew nothing. He then fled into the forests. It was three weeks before he heard through the grapevine what had happened; another fortnight before he could find his way to the hospital to find his four surviving children.

In the Serb-controlled hospital in Pristina, Saranda remembers, visitors were told that the Bogujevci children were victims of Nato bombs. They were too frightened to contradict the medical staff.

So it appears the children received visitors, one of which was their father in the Kosovo hospital. Selatin says he heard about the children being in the hospital 3 weeks later, and in a fortnight (2 weeks) was able to visit them. So, this Albanian father was able to visit his children in a Serb-run hospital during the war - 5 weeks after the alleged massacre would have made it early May. Obviously the childrens' identities were no secret if he found out, and he felt safe enough there to visit them.

In reference to the Serbian Nationalist position on events in the Balkans vs. factual evidence to the contrary: like I said, bizarre.
