Evidence that Kosovo's leadership was complicit in grisly crimes

from the Econonist:

KOSOVO marked the third anniversary of its independence on February 17th in sombre mood. Only last July the country's leaders were riding high last year in the wake of anadvisory opinion by the International Court of Justice that its declaration of independence had not been illegal. Now their reputations are in tatters.

First came allegations of fraud in last December’s elections, which angered its strongest supporter, the United States. Soon afterwards, a report produced by Dick Marty, a Swiss politician and former prosecutor, made lurid claims about the involvement of Kosovo's leadership in organised crime. In the last few days two new documentss have come to light that appear to bolster the most nightmarish of those allegations. 

First, a disclaimer. In Balkan politics, the dictum, “if you are not with us, you are against us” usually applies. Some readers have attacked this blog simply for reporting on the Marty affair. As a fog of confusion, claims and counter-claims swirls over the allegations laid against Kosovo's leaders, we lay out here what is already known about the issue, and what is new.

Eisenhower and Churchill - the war criminals

Eisenhower and Churchill, war criminals in the same league as Stalin or Hitler:

BBC: "In a shocking new book, Churchill's Secret War, journalist Madhusree Mukherjee blames Mr Churchill's policies for being largely responsible for one of the worst famines in India's history.

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, as head of the American occupation of Germany in 1945, deliberately starved to death German prisoners of war in staggering numbers. The victims undoubtedly number over 600,000, almost certainly over 800,000 and quite likely over a million.

German prisoners that had fled the Eastern front were designated as "Disarmed Enemy Forces" in order to avoid recognition under the third Geneva Convention, for the purpose of carrying out their deaths through disease or slow starvation.

No agencies were allowed to visit the camps or provide any assistance to the prisoners, including delegates from ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross), which was a violation of the Geneva Convention. The only notable protest against this was from William Lyon Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada.

The press was also prevented from visiting the camps, and therefore was unable to report on the state of the camps and the condition of the prisoners."





"God, I hate the Germans..." (Dwight David Eisenhower in a letter to his wife in September, 1944)

Mass Starvation of Germans - Eisenhower's Death Camps - under Ikes orders, German POWs were provided no food and no shelter, although the US military had excess supplies of both - Camp at Sinzing-Remagen
