May 4, 1999 "A lie can make it half way around the world before truth has had a chance to put on its galoshes." - Mark Twain It appears the professional liars, and the mindless parots who repeat their stories on TV, on the Internet and elsewhere, outdid themselves in this war. Was there "genocide" in Kosovo? Not according to a year's worth of intelligence reports filed with German courts by the German Foreign Office. Their latest opinion: "Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo have neither been nor are now exposed to regional or countrywide group persecution in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." Opinion of the Upper Administrative Court at MŸnster, March 11, 1999 (Az: 13A3894/94.A) Note the date. This assessment was produced by the German Foreign Office in response to a courts' request that was deciding the status of Kosovo-Albanian refugees in Germany. The new Luftwaffe started bombing with its American and British allies less than two weeks later. Much, more more material showing that the German Affairs Office had studied and rejected the Kosovo genocide claim is available here: Original source (in German): Junge Welt: http://www.jungewelt.de/1999/04-24/011.shtml Passed along by Sam Smith: http://prorev.com/balkan.htm (English language excerpts) Directory of Dispatches || Sources || Index of Topics || Home Copyright notice: any information on this page may be freely distributed as long as it is accompanied by the URL (web address) of this site which is http://www.brasscheck.com/yugoslavia |
