War Criminal Released Early, MSM Yells "Abu Ghraib!"
Little Green Footballs
The Washington Post’s Iraq page has a permanent sidebar, featured prominently at the top, with pictures and stories about the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse: washingtonpost.com: Iraq. (Hat tip: John.)
Is there nothing happening in Iraq more noteworthy than a ridiculously overblown, bogus media-driven “scandal” that’s more than a year old?
Meanwhile, last Wednesday, Miroslav Kvocka, convicted of persecution, torture and murder by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, was released from prison after serving four years of a seven year sentence—and we can find not a single word about the story in mainstream media. (Hat tip: RWDB.)
Here’s a description of the atrocities presided over by Kvocka, which did not include human pyramids:
<<<
The detainees ... were almost always beaten, usually ferociously. The men were tortured in front of each other. Sometimes they were made to beat one another. A father was beaten to death in front of his son. The men shrieked with pain. There was blood on the walls and on the ground. The men who came out of there alive had open wounds, could not stand or were unconscious. The corpses removed from there had open wounds to the skull, severed joints, slit throats. Some of the victims were ultimately executed with a bullet.
The accused heard nothing, saw nothing and did nothing.
Detainees sometimes died as a result of beatings. Their bodies were left on the ground ... sometimes for several days. They would be loaded into small trucks by detainees.
Did the accused still see nothing?
Some of the bodies, including those of two women, would be discovered in mass graves much later.
The 12th of July is Saint Peter’s day (Petrovdan) an important Orthodox celebration when large bonfires are lit. On 12 July 1992, a large bonfire was lit using tyres. Shots were fired at one of the rooms containing detainees. Some were called out of the hangar. Screams were heard. The air smelt of burnt tyres and grilled flesh.
