Horrors of KLA prison camps revealed
BBC ^

Michael Montgomery BBC Radio 4, Crossing Continents

The man spoke plainly as he explained the horrors he lived through in a Kosovo Liberation Army prison camp 10 years ago. He told me about how he watched people beaten with steel pipes, cut with knives, left for days without food, and shot and killed. Civilians were detained by the KLA and kept in prisons where some were killed

"What can you feel when you see those things?" he said. "It's something that is stuck in my mind for the rest of my life. You cannot do those things to people, not even to animals."

As the man talked, his mother paced nervously in the nearby kitchen. She was panicked and tears were streaming down her face.

"They'll kill him, they'll kill him," she moaned, clutching one of her grandchildren.

But her son persisted. We spent hours in the family's sitting room as our source detailed allegations of possible war crimes by KLA officers in a military camp in the Albanian border town of Kukes.

It was a crucial interview for a delicate story I have been investigating for years.

Mystery of the missing

Soon after the war ended in Kosovo, I started looking into the thousands of civilians who disappeared during and after the conflict. Many Albanian victims were dumped in wells or transported to mass graves as far away as Belgrade.

So ten years after BBC fabricated stories, interviewed KLA goons providing conflicting stories, and published programs with patently fabricated translations, they’ve discovered there may be something to the Serb’s stories.

Some not-so-intelligent freepers will fight you on the truth of this story.

They desperately cling to the myth of the absurd contradiction in terms of “secular Muslims” and to the myth of the legitimacy of post cold war NATO - that the legitimacy of US Government actions in defending Muslim jihadis and attacking Serbian allies and Christians by bombing them during Easter in 1999. The Brits did the same in 1944 and again in 1999 as part of NATO may the Lord forgive them.

But these freepers must come to the realization that the US has taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way - veering badly from the path cleared by our founding fathers with few exceptions. We are well on the way to becoming becoming a nation of secular mind numb materialist slaves.

Now I understand why they are willing to believe the story, the guy telling them was an Albanian volunteer for the KLA!

I’m sure our erstwhile Dhimmi posters will still deny, deny, deny.

They will also claim that the BBC is controlled from Belgrade.

I don’t know a thing about this, but I’d take the word of
a Christian over a muslim any day of the week. We’d better
stick together as Christians under attack in this world.

How about the anthem of the Israeli army (at least until *this* administration):

"Onward, Christian Soldiers" (i.e. the US did most of the fighting)

Cheers!

The massive disinformation campaign perpetuated out of Beograd is relentless. :-)
