Britain's flagship broadcaster heard testimonies during the first unrestricted visit to South Ossetia by a foreign news organisation since the conflict ended. Photographs taken by Russian journalists in the first days of the conflict tell a disturbing story. But it is only now - more than two months later - that the world is looking at these pictures and reflecting on their meaning. For many, they paint a picture of indiscriminate force used against unarmed civilians. It's a side of the story international broadcasters have been accused of ignoring. A report by the BBC's Newsnight programme suggests Georgia's armed forces committed war crimes during their attack in August. The BBC says the evidence proving this comes from the first unrestricted visit to South Ossetia by their correspondent. Taisiya Sitnik, or Taya, as the BBC reporter calls her, had spent many hours under the rubble of her apartment block in Tskhinval, with no food or water, in a dress covered with the blood of her dead son. She had already shared her tragic story once with an RT correspondent, three days into the conflict. More than two months later the BBC is finally telling her story. Richard Sakwa, a professor of politics and international relations at the University of Kent in the UK, said he'd been inundated with messages complaining about how the Western media were covering the war. "I'm a great believer in popular common sense - the amount of emails I received and other messages - because people know I'm...

Discrimination or they just Evil, since Ossetians and Russians were not paying ? _* McCain adviser got money from GeorgiaWed Aug 13, 2008 12:51 PM EDT politics, mccain , john-*mccain*, lobbyist Pete Yost, Associated Press Writers John McCain's chief foreign policy adviser and his business partner lobbied the senator or his staff on 49 occasions in a 3 1/2-year span while being paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by the government of the former Soviet republic of Georgia. The payments raise ethical questions about the intersection of Randy Scheunemann's personal financial interests and his advice to the Republican presidential candidate who is seizing on Russian conflict with Georgia as a campaign issue. On April 17, a month and a half after Scheunemann stopped working for Georgia, his partner signed a $200,000 agreement with the Georgian government. The deal added to an arrangement that brought in more than $800,000 to the two-man firm from 2004 to mid-2007. For the duration of the campaign, Scheunemann is taking a leave of absence from the firm. "Scheunemann's work as a lobbyist poses valid questions about McCain's judgment in choosing someone who - and whose firm - are paid to promote the interests of other nations," said New York University law professor Stephen G...

NAVY SEALS: UNTOLD STORIES (BOSNIA) 1 OF 3

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 22:05:40 -0500

NAVY SEALS: UNTOLD STORIES (BOSNIA) PART 1 OF 3 Explore the 1998 commando mission to apprehend Serbian war criminals in Bosnia including Blagoje Simic, dubbed "the Hitler of Bosnia." The SEALS conduct their own secret mission, and with split-second precision they nab Simic and make a daring escape. The 1990s saw progress made in arguably the most important and most contentious aspect of war crimes law and practice: the international prosecution of individual breaches of international law. In May 1993 the UN Security Council established an International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The tribunal, based in The Hague, began to prepare indictments for war crimes committed by the various sides in the Yugoslav conflict, and in April 1995 an alleged Bosnia Serb war criminal—Dusko Tadic—became the first occupant of a new UN detention centre while awaiting trial for outrages committed in the Omarska prison camp. Tadic was later sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment for crimes against humanity. Radovan Karadjic, the Bosnian Serb leader, together with other Serbs, Croatians, and Bosnian Muslims, were also later indicted. Following the recrudescence of genocide and ‘ethnic cleansing’ in Kosovo in early 1999, the Hague tribunal began preparing evidence for another round of indictments.
