Nato has admitted that it bombed a refugee convoy on Wednesday after a pilot mistook civilian vehicles for Yugoslav military units.

What do you want? In the middle of Milosevic's third murderous ethnic cleansing campaign, the BBC reports on friendly fire casualties, with the facts being presented as they become apparent, and editorial comments recognizable as such.

Same same as in the case at Gospic - your beef with the BBC goes deeper than wanting factual, credible reporting.

Why, if so much right existed on the side of US/NATO was there such a need to lie? When a journalist enters this murky area and does not challenge what is offered up, then professional ethics and credibility are diminished. We expect more from a free press.

I don't think the Djakovica Refugee Column dead would--under international law--be classified as friendly fire casualties. That case should be presented in a proper court.
