 Posted by Aron on April 03 2008 (Thursday) : 09:16 PMA while back I did a piece on Kosovo's "declaration of independence." I am particularly appalled by the double standard applied by Western governments, who give the Kosovo government leadership, members of the criminal KLA, a pass. Today's NY Times had an article about several KLA leaders who were acquitted by the UN War Crimes Tribunal. The main reason they were acquitted was because of witness intimidation, which essentially undermined the prosecution's case. But what was truly disturbing, and reinforces the points I made in the previous article, was this line: "The case against Mr. Haradinaj was fraught with difficulties from the start. Western diplomats tried to dissuade Carla Del Ponte, who was the chief prosecutor, from indicting Mr. Haradinaj, arguing that he was a respected political leader who played an important role in stabilizing Kosovo." < Still More KLA War Crime Allegations | Baghdad: City of Walls >
