Visit our website: HTTP://WWW.STOPNATO.ORG.UK ---------------------------------------------Ain't it amazin'? But what can we expect. We hear over and over again by the 'authorities' that "we don't want to try this case in the media." All the while the complicit media churns out hundreds of column inches (or hours of air time) blindly supporting all the bile spewed by the authorities, bolstering whatever position is advanced by them.
What it boils down to is, the ICTY had every right to 'try the case in the media' while the accused are to be bound and gagged like Hannibal Lecter to meekly await their preordained destiny. 'Democracy' my aching back!

Talk about your textbook cases of muzzling free speech. Somebody get on the
blower to Amnesty and Human Rights Watch over this. If this was a KLA
narcotrafficker, they'd have already convened a press conference by now.

So Milosevic tried to bring to public knowledge his views on his illegal
detainment by a bunch of murdering liars? The scoundrel! I tell you, the
more I hear about that man...
