Rory,

Thank you for your onsite account.

>No one is crying, few are speaking, and when you thought that they'd at least be happy to be safe and processed, no one is smiling.

Come to think of it,a ctually I have not seen any Albanian smile before.

>I noticed that while watching these people, that interspersed throughout, were cameramen (video and still) trying to get that video bite or picture that best shows what's happening

Video depicting more and more misery and broadcast to the West is their salvation...a plane ride out!

>They had little, if any, food and water. There was no shelter. There were no toilets. There WAS garbage and filth ... everywhere.

Thanks to the superb planning of NATO, but as they say, they did prepare for this right? Remember before the bombs started falling all these people were living in their homes.

>My hat goes off to those who throw themselves into the middle of these situations to get that one loaf of bread to those that need it. Their hearts truly are big. Their compassion knows no bounds.

I agree with you 100%. I couldn't do it myself...

Be safe.
