It looks like the jury is still out, but it seems to be a plausible accusation. I stand corrected.

Still, what would you have done to stop it?

I have a coworker who insists that trilobites are not extinct.

I never thought I could out-think our “trusted leaders”.

Guess what?

Most of them are like the prom king and queen– vapid and dumb as stumps.

I like geeks and bookworms and librarians much more.

What does it say about our country that nobody– nobody– a few (and me) could even think of electing a visionary like Kucinich?

What a young, inane and dangerous nation we are.

Witnesses at first were afraid to cooperate; there was no paper trail of orders, and for a long time Bosnian Serbs did not allow work on mass graves needed to provide evidence. But as NATO troops moved into Bosnia the climate gradually changed. Investigators, armed with court orders from The Hague and backed by NATO troops, scoured through Bosnian Serb military archives and seized thousands of documents.

”The Serbs went to great lengths to hide the evidence of the crimes,” said Jean-René Ruez, who led the investigation. ”But they did a sloppy job. They moved bodies from mass graves, but left behind many. They erased records and cleaned out archives. Binders from 1995 were missing. But they left some things. They did not remember to destroy the engineering logs showing how they used heavy equipment to dig the graves. We found timetables of the military police guarding prisoners.”

Prosecutors said that the Krstic trial is the first international trial where forensic evidence has played such a crucial role. Such evidence was not produced during the trials in Tokyo and Nuremberg following World War II. It has been used, but to a lesser extent, during the trials dealing with the 1994 massacres in Rwanda. In Bosnia, dozens of international experts have worked for months, digging up 2,028 bodies and finding another 2,500, spread over more than two dozen sites.

This is a news report, not an autopsy so you will disregard it. But any fair minded person reading this will understand it.

It was the Hutu’s killing the Tutsis.

It would certainly required some kind of military action to stop it. What would you have done?

That activity is one reason why some human rights groups (such as are Hammurabi) are themselves particularly the target of death squad activity.

thank you, but there have been far too many times i haven’t done what i should. but i don’t advocate doing nothing – especially in the case of genocide.
