Concerning the one sidedness of the reporting of events in the Balkans, particularly of anything to do with the Serbs :

Something that is only now being revealed is the fact that the Muslim Albanian Kosovans seized 300 Kosovo Serbs (mostly civilians), sent their bodies to Albania and removed their organs. These body organs were later sold on the world market.

"Del Ponte reports in her book that the Kosovo Albanian KLA was involved in a program of sending Serbs, mostly seized civilians, to an Albanian location where "doctors extracted the captives' internal organs," which were sent off for sale. She estimates that 300 kidnapped Serbs were so treated. (For a partial non-authorized translation of Del Ponte's account, Harry de Quetteville, "Serb prisoners were stripped of their organs in Kosovo war," Daily Telegraph, April 11, 2008). This was done at the very time UN and NATO forces were deploying to Kosovo as the "humanitarian intervention" war was ending in 1999. Human Rights Watch has found "serious and credible allegations" on the organ-extraction and sale issue in a series of reports, but Del Ponte claims that here again, as with NATO's possible war crimes, it was difficult to get a serious investigation and process underway on the matter. The New York Times has mentioned this charge only once, in a single sentence deep in an article on another subject, in which the charge is dismissed with contempt by KLA terrorist and high-ranking Kosovo Albanian official Ramush Haradinaj (Dan Bilefsky, "Ex-Soldier May Go From The Hague's Docket to Kosovo's Ballot," New York Times, July 12, 2008)."

I have said it before and will say it again - there are monsters amongst us.


As a Christian, I think that whoever commits atrocities should be arrested and put on trial. Political favourites, such as the KLA leader should be included - otherwise we can believe nothing that we are told. If this were done for all suspected criminals in these conflicts, then the Serbs would be sure that a fair trial would be given to those Serbs who have been arrested. But, as is apparent, this is not being done, so whether Karadzic is guilty or innocent of the crimes he has been charged with, there will always be those who believe that he is being victimised.

I still have not read anything that suggests that the Greek Orthodox Church supports Karadzic. I can believe, however, that it would support fair treatment for all those who have been accused, whether Orthodox or not.
