brees, Here's some more of Robert's "free press" that he will have to refute(since it doesn't fit in with his "truth"). <<Refugees crossing into Albania said they saw three aircraft drop bombs that hit two tractors in the convoy, killing many people, said World Food Program aid worker Jeff Rowand.>> <<Video of the scene taken under Serb control showed bloody bodies scattered along a roadway, damaged farm vehicles and bombed-out buildings nearby. People in rough peasant clothing loaded the dead and wounded into cars or wheelbarrows to transport them. A young boy sobbed bitterly.>> << The videotape showed tractors that had been hauling flatbed trailers. Most of the bodies shown were near a single smashed trailer. Farm animals brayed in the background. usatoday.com; Strange how the refugees are confirming the report. But here's the Pentagon's take: <<and the Pentagon suggested that Serbs may have been responsible for the carnage. >> What a joke. From another article NATO admits to being the attackers. <<Bacon told reporters that Serb military vehicles were at either end of the convoy with civilians in between, and that allied pilots felt sure that they had attacked only the military vehicles.>> foxnews.com <<NATO says it is targeting only military, or military-related sites in its air campaign, but has admitted that its missiles have missed three times.>> Let's make that four and counting.

<< OK and you believe everything you see on the tv to be truth, if it is produced from the "free press." >> The free press presents the news on TV, radio and in the newspapers. It is up to the reader to determine if the presentation of the news is credible. News organizations that are constantly known for verifying their stories are usually held more credible by the people. I have seen the American free press constantly confront our government and our representatives. The free press has also been able to free people that have been wrongly convicted of crimes that they didn't do. Obviously you consider our free press a waste of time and a completely incorrect source of info. Somehow, this view of yours doesn't surprise me. << We know where Robert establishes "his" truth, the tv. >> There are also some other excellent sources, such as encyclopedias, the Internet, magazines, etc. But, the TV is an excellent source of news, most of it pretty accurate. It is a shame that you don't believe anything that you see on the TV. At least you probably have a lot of faith in the commercials!<g> << In a battle of wits and principles Robert comes unarmed. >> So do the Kosovo Albanians come unarmed. These unarmed victims are getting slaughtered by the Serbs, while the Serbs try to blame it on NATO. By the way, how can you claim to have a soul, but not care about the genocide against the Kosovo Albanians? If that is a picture of your soul, you can keep it to yourself.
