Crime Against Speech

Back during the presidential campaign of 2004, we never understood the admiration that some Democrats had for the former general, Wesley Clark, who was mostly famous for prosecuting the Clinton regime's unwarranted bombing of the Serbian population in 1999, and he is still fawned upon to this day by Democrats.

Now, we just learned from the website, "Counterpunch," that Amnesty International has just gotten around to declaring the deliberate bombing of a Belgrade radio and television station, under Clark's orders, a war crime. That is hardly news to people who keep abreast of Uncle Sam's imperial march across the planet, but better late than never as far as Amnesty International is concerned. The people working at the Belgrade station that day were civilian journalists and media workers who were conducting their duties of speech, under extreme pressure, as they saw fit, not combatants, which makes the case even more succinctly that some Clinton-ites are as culpable for war crimes as the Bushians whom succeeded them.
