Dear Editor
Revealing only half of the story on Srebrenica is dishonest reporting. Nasir Oric and his Muslim troops used the "Safe-Haven" of Srebrenica to launch nightly raids on surrounding villages. In the process they destroyed 32 Serbian villages killing over 3,000 Serb victims, none of whom have received a single line of copy in your coverage of this Srebrenica myth. Bill Schiller of the Toronto Star wrote two weeks after the fall of Srebrenica that he watch a video of Nasir Oric decapitating Serbian victims and how he blew up Serbian homes and shot anyone who managed to survive the blast. Bill Schiller called the film, "Oric's Greatest Hits." Your coverage of the Srebrenica story reveals the duplicity of your own reporting. John Pomfret wrote that he personally witnessed "About 4,000 Srebrenica troops who made they way through the forest to safety in Tuzla." The use therefore of this fictitious figure of "8,000 victims" is as dishonest as the "60,000 Rapes" story and the "300,000 Bosnian victims" story that laced your pages for several years. We now know that less than 700 women were raped, a third of whom were Serbian women and that the actual victim count for the Bosnian Civil War is less than "90,000" victims on all sides. Your continued use of this Srebrenica propaganda exposes a partisan press. I believe that thousands of victims were killed in Srebrenica on all sides and until we start exposing the truth and demand equal justice there will be no long-term peace in the Balkans.
