Re: But the number of bodies discovered so far is much lower -- 2,108 as of November, and not all of them necessarily war-crimes victims. While more than 300 reported grave sites remain to be investigated, the tribunal has checked the largest reported sites first, and found most to contain no more than five bodies, suggesting intimate acts of barbarity rather than mass murder. There is also this passage in the link you posted: Many journalists had experience in Bosnia, where the mass slaughter of an estimated 7,000 men from the "safe area" at Srebrenica in 1995 was a warning not to be too skeptical about reports of Serb atrocities. Bosnia yielded three Pulitzer Prizes for reporters who proved atrocities. That action was actually observed by horrified, unarmed, UN troops and journalists. (Unarmed troops! What the hell were they supposed to do?) The initial total of a little over 2,000 for the Kosovo region looks much lower than at first feared. Would it have stayed that way if the US hadn't intervened, at first politically and later militarily? We live in sad times, Dan
