The three wicked witches of Belgrade are Biljana Kovacevic-Vuco (Yugoslav Committee of Human Rights Lawyers), Natasa Kandic (Humanitarian Law Centre) and Sonja Biserko (Serbian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights).

Now that's the most comfortable way of discrediting all three organisations, isn't it? By calling their representatives (or heads) witches. When they talked about the war crimes against Serbs or in other cases, I am sure Mrs Vera didn't have a problem.

Let me put it this way Vooch, if the Helsinki Monitor in Slovenia did a report of human rights abuse of Romas or other minorities and the government or some defending them said it is not true and that they are only some witches with anti-Slovenian stance, even though they are Slovenians themselves, who would I trust more (this is not only a hypothetical question)? The NGO or the government? If your answer is the goverment, you are wrong. Some of those NGO's have a good track (all around the world) of exposing human rights abuse, war crimes, police brutality, discrimination etc.. In many cases when even the (major) media doesn't report them, they're one of the few that do. The guilty conscience of each country.

I am sure many people (even some jurists) don't like the things they say. And they wish they would simply dissapear. Don't tell me there is an NGO conspiracy going on and that every single human rights organisation is simply making things up just for the fun of it to make their country look bad. Blaming (demonizing) the messanger, ignoring the message. Don't you find a problem here?

Quite entertaining don't ya think? Poor old Hoplite hasn't recovered from the trashing he received from inquest. The idiot doesn't even know that Vera didn't post on slobodan-milosevic.org, but that someone else posted her remarks with her consent.... It goes along the lines of 'it was on pravda's web-site, therefore it is communist and means nothing', ignoring the fact of the original publication. Idiot, idiot, idiot. It's a pity his behavior is still on the level of a 4 year old...
