Wow the comments from our Albanian friends here are truly comical. Thaci could confess to these crimes and you would still deny it. Seriously living with your heads in the sand.

The time will come when Washington may find it
useful to use the human organ charges to remove Thaci from power. That time may come this November if an administration gets in power that is desirous of exposing the duplicity of the Clinton adminstrarion in their role regarding the bombing of Serbia and the support given to the KLA

Another b92 article on this another 5 minutes of my life has been wasted. Where is the evidence? Just one single shred of evidence would do. No evidence ever shown from Carla, none from Serbia, none from Russia and none from Marty. Yet all these non- NATO, non-Americans, non-Albanians claim to be sitting or have sat on piles of evidence for years. This is beyond weird; it's creepily sick. Still waiting for a picture, photocopy, recording, DNA, hair strand. I ask Serbia to do all of us a service and release it's pile of evidence so we can put an end to this story. Of course unless putting an end to the rumors is not Serbia's goal.

Oh, how come the article says something different:

Must be all 'propaganda' by the well known Serb friend Del Ponte, right? :)

Is anyone really surprised? The reason Del Ponte is spouting off now is she thought she was doing a noble thing in Bosnia against those “evil Serbs” and then tried to be herself and was thinking she was doing the right thing by investigating a very serious and barbaric case. Then she ran into the wall known as NATO/US/EU/etc. leaders who wanted to bury the story as quickly as possible to cover themselves. I bet you the first doubts popped up in Carla's head when she saw that the numbers of victims in Bosnia was nowhere near to what NATO was claiming and then she runs into this fiasco. It's clearly obvious why the US and others wanted to stop the investigation isn’t it? How would have it looked to all those unsuspecting people who have no idea about the Balkans that their leaders backed a group of guys who are in power that were MORE barbaric than the people they attacked? Some people here in the US have wizened up and are really unhappy with the Albanians especially after the attacks on their soldiers/civilians and the continued underworld activity they operate in over here. Don't believe me Albanians? You should have read the forums here with the last attack in Florida, but you guys already knew that since you live on these forums 24/7... too bad Carla didn’t get the memo earlier….

The are no criminals because there was no crime. Not one iota of evidence has been found in the so-called "organ' case. There was more than one investigation and they all led to nothing. This is nothing but a cheap and transparent attempt on the part of Belgrade to divert attention from the real crimes committed by Serbia during the 1990's. The West is aware Serbia's dirty tricks.

Yes, I judge myself: Switzerland is a neutral country, neither under the influence of Russia nor of NATO countries. It is likely that officials from Switzerland don't have the need to be biased or doing something only for propaganda purposes or to cover some crimes. Furthermor, Switzerland was one of the first countries that recognized Kosovo, so nobody can say that they oppose Kosovo independence. The only thing Del Ponte and Marty want is to investigate the case and find out the truth, and in the end, sent these criminals who were responsible for it and who are still in power in Kosovo, nowadays, to prison.

Let the UN take over this so that Russia can come up with things. Belgrade and Moscow are desperate. Why doesn't Serbia hand over 2000 bodies that are buried in serbia? What happened to all the boys who served in the yugoslavia army during the 80's and 90's, but they came back dead? Why did they come back dead? all apartments in northern Mitrovica, which belongs to the Albanians that the Serbs have taken? return the apartments? Over 800 000 Albanians ended up in Serb prisons only during the 1980's, Why? Over 30 journalists killed in the 1990's in Russia. Over 20 journalists killed during the 2000's. 1990 KGB ordered killings. 2000 Putin ordered the killings. And Russia is talking about propaganda.

As for Karla, she knows that the ICTY is a kangaroo/victors court but was quite happy to take their money (much funding which has come from western states rather than UN mechanisims which is directly against ICTY statutes ). She's the biggest hypocrite of them all.
(Aleks, 1 February 2012 13:59)
what is wrong with your statement?
The ICTY was established by a UNSC resolution. Of course the ironic part is that Serbia is insisting the UNSC appoint a body to investigate the Organ Harvisting allegations, after they appointed ICTY which investigated and lead no where, after they appointed UNMIK which investigated and lead no where.
Funding, the ICTY gets its money from the UN but of course that is jsut a formality. If you have ever looked at the UN budget you will find that 75%of it comes from just a few western countries.
Now you are correct about Carla, She was happy as a lark taking the money and the prestige she had while chief prosecutor, When she was banished she fell hard and now she wants to discredit it but she was running the show as far as prosecutions go.
FYI there is currently has always been a Chinese judge on the bench, not to mention several pro Serbian countries.

Reading comments on B92 is more entertaining than reading the news itself. I really get a kick out of how some people come up with amazing justifications to fit any shred of information into their world views. The mind is a powerful tool and unfortunately in the wrong heads it can come up with excuse after excuse. A license should be required to possess a mind.

We still know nothing really about the Organ trafficking case except that Carla alleged it, and her allegations were followed up by another person, Marty. We know that there is no willingness on the part of some Western powers to allow for a UN run investigation. That's about it. In my view, it would be best to have a full impartial investigation so that we could find out if this is real or a macabre fictional tale. As for all the dolts out there whom insist that it is either false or true, you are only making yourselves look really stupid, but then again for some of you, I guess stupidity is an upgrade:-) Darn, I really love it that I am smart and have the credentials to prove it.

Well we Serbs have known for a long time now that NATO is run by psychopthic war criminals. This is just more proof.
It seems to me that Del Ponte is trying to cover her own derriere now. With all the latest news coming out about this organ trafficking, Del Ponte can see that the truth is going to come out soon, and she is scared. If evidence was destroyed and she knew about it years ago, why didn't she speak up then?? She kept silent, so she is just as guilty as the criminals who destroyed evidence.

NATO is a large and formally run international organisation. It is very unlikely that those at the top - politicians and senior generals - would take any formal decision to interfere actively. Even discussing the possibility between politicians would get documented somewhere. Criminal activity of that kind within NATO could one day backfire on those that do it in an official capacity.

What is possible is that some parts of the organisation might act in a way that hinders. Certainly the 'organ'isation itself might not decide to do anything proactive - or even reactive - to encourage the investigation.

If Albania won't allow access to the graves, that is an issue that can be taken further. Much further. Albania should not be seen a protecting any such crime and needs to prove its willingness to discover any relevant evidence.

I don't normally believe too strongly in conspiracy theories. Cover ups are hard to maintain - one day the truth will escape. Conspiracy theories are usually the realm of people with an axe to grind rather than based in reality.

However, if there is a conspiracy, the secret of success to counter it is to squeeze the likely perpetrators from every which way. The even if they do not crack and give up the truth, you can be sure the the pressure keeps their hearts beating faster.

Why exactly is this news? The USA is indirectly supporting Gotovina against the ICTY (so he doesn't spill the beans about US' complicity in crimes against humanity during operations Flash and Storm), providing private lawyer Greg Kehoe for his defense, someone used before by the US to protect its favorite war criminals in other countries such as Iraq. The west is still hiding criminal evidence on their favorites in Croatia, Bosnia and Pristina. So again, what is new?

As for Karla, she knows that the ICTY is a kangaroo/victors court but was quite happy to take their money (much funding which has come from western states rather than UN mechanisims which is directly against ICTY statutes ). She's the biggest hypocrite of them all.

Over 800 000 Albanians ended up in Serb prisons only during the 1980's, Why? Over 30 journalists killed in the 1990's in Russia. Over 20 journalists killed during the 2000's. 1990 KGB ordered killings. 2000 Putin ordered the killings. And Russia is talking about propaganda.

The are no criminals because there was no crime. Not one iota of evidence has been found in the so-called "organ' case. There was more than one investigation and they all led to nothing. This is nothing but a cheap and transparent attempt on the part of Belgrade to divert attention from the real crimes committed by Serbia during the 1990's. The West is aware Serbia's dirty tricks.

NATO is a large and formally run international organisation. It is very unlikely that those at the top - politicians and senior generals - would take any formal decision to interfere actively. Even discussing the possibility between politicians would get documented somewhere. Criminal activity of that kind within NATO could one day backfire on those that do it in an official capacity.

What is possible is that some parts of the organisation might act in a way that hinders. Certainly the 'organ'isation itself might not decide to do anything proactive - or even reactive - to encourage the investigation.

If Albania won't allow access to the graves, that is an issue that can be taken further. Much further. Albania should not be seen a protecting any such crime and needs to prove its willingness to discover any relevant evidence.

I don't normally believe too strongly in conspiracy theories. Cover ups are hard to maintain - one day the truth will escape. Conspiracy theories are usually the realm of people with an axe to grind rather than based in reality.

However, if there is a conspiracy, the secret of success to counter it is to squeeze the likely perpetrators from every which way. The even if they do not crack and give up the truth, you can be sure the the pressure keeps their hearts beating faster.

“NATO and UNMIK did not allow us to see important files, while Albania did not let us enter its territory and inspect graves,” she noted.

But of course Kosovo with its King Thaci, Albania, UNMIK and everyone else fully supported investigations in that case which is based on totally unfounded allegations and is only defamation, right?

It's getting more and more obvious that some people wanted to hide the truth.

Reading comments on B92 is more entertaining than reading the news itself. I really get a kick out of how some people come up with amazing justifications to fit any shred of information into their world views. The mind is a powerful tool and unfortunately in the wrong heads it can come up with excuse after excuse. A license should be required to possess a mind.

We still know nothing really about the Organ trafficking case except that Carla alleged it, and her allegations were followed up by another person, Marty. We know that there is no willingness on the part of some Western powers to allow for a UN run investigation. That's about it. In my view, it would be best to have a full impartial investigation so that we could find out if this is real or a macabre fictional tale. As for all the dolts out there whom insist that it is either false or true, you are only making yourselves look really stupid, but then again for some of you, I guess stupidity is an upgrade:-) Darn, I really love it that I am smart and have the credentials to prove it.

As for Karla, she knows that the ICTY is a kangaroo/victors court but was quite happy to take their money (much funding which has come from western states rather than UN mechanisims which is directly against ICTY statutes ). She's the biggest hypocrite of them all.
(Aleks, 1 February 2012 13:59)
what is wrong with your statement?
The ICTY was established by a UNSC resolution. Of course the ironic part is that Serbia is insisting the UNSC appoint a body to investigate the Organ Harvisting allegations, after they appointed ICTY which investigated and lead no where, after they appointed UNMIK which investigated and lead no where.
Funding, the ICTY gets its money from the UN but of course that is jsut a formality. If you have ever looked at the UN budget you will find that 75%of it comes from just a few western countries.
Now you are correct about Carla, She was happy as a lark taking the money and the prestige she had while chief prosecutor, When she was banished she fell hard and now she wants to discredit it but she was running the show as far as prosecutions go.
FYI there is currently has always been a Chinese judge on the bench, not to mention several pro Serbian countries.

But did not her assistant say it was Del Ponst who ordered the photographing and cataloging of the so called evidence and then personally ordered its destruction?

Well we Serbs have known for a long time now that NATO is run by psychopthic war criminals. This is just more proof.
It seems to me that Del Ponte is trying to cover her own derriere now. With all the latest news coming out about this organ trafficking, Del Ponte can see that the truth is going to come out soon, and she is scared. If evidence was destroyed and she knew about it years ago, why didn't she speak up then?? She kept silent, so she is just as guilty as the criminals who destroyed evidence.

Why exactly is this news? The USA is indirectly supporting Gotovina against the ICTY (so he doesn't spill the beans about US' complicity in crimes against humanity during operations Flash and Storm), providing private lawyer Greg Kehoe for his defense, someone used before by the US to protect its favorite war criminals in other countries such as Iraq. The west is still hiding criminal evidence on their favorites in Croatia, Bosnia and Pristina. So again, what is new?

Yes, I judge myself: Switzerland is a neutral country, neither under the influence of Russia nor of NATO countries. It is likely that officials from Switzerland don't have the need to be biased or doing something only for propaganda purposes or to cover some crimes. Furthermor, Switzerland was one of the first countries that recognized Kosovo, so nobody can say that they oppose Kosovo independence. The only thing Del Ponte and Marty want is to investigate the case and find out the truth, and in the end, sent these criminals who were responsible for it and who are still in power in Kosovo, nowadays, to prison.

How come the evidence has been destroyed? You were in charged, you came out with your book and mentioned this. Why media wasn't informed prior to the book publishing, or were you more interesting in your book sale.

And now only UN can do an investigation. I wonder why only UN, why not Swiss, Finnish or even Serbian forensic teams.


Albanian forensic teams with media in the background carried out investigations and found nothing, where she claimed this things happened.

My goodness, how on earth can NATO interfere with this so-called court? Could it be that NATO created the foundation of this court along with Albright and other partners in crime? Maybe we can ask out old friend Jamie Shea what he thinks? http://www.nato.int/kosovo/press/p990517b.htm

"Jamie Shea : As you know, without NATO countries there would be no International Court of Justice, nor would there be any International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia because NATO countries are in the forefront of those who have established these two tribunals, who fund these tribunals and who support on a daily basis their activities."

Sounds like a NATO court to me.

Is anyone really surprised? The reason Del Ponte is spouting off now is she thought she was doing a noble thing in Bosnia against those “evil Serbs” and then tried to be herself and was thinking she was doing the right thing by investigating a very serious and barbaric case. Then she ran into the wall known as NATO/US/EU/etc. leaders who wanted to bury the story as quickly as possible to cover themselves. I bet you the first doubts popped up in Carla's head when she saw that the numbers of victims in Bosnia was nowhere near to what NATO was claiming and then she runs into this fiasco. It's clearly obvious why the US and others wanted to stop the investigation isn’t it? How would have it looked to all those unsuspecting people who have no idea about the Balkans that their leaders backed a group of guys who are in power that were MORE barbaric than the people they attacked? Some people here in the US have wizened up and are really unhappy with the Albanians especially after the attacks on their soldiers/civilians and the continued underworld activity they operate in over here. Don't believe me Albanians? You should have read the forums here with the last attack in Florida, but you guys already knew that since you live on these forums 24/7... too bad Carla didn’t get the memo earlier….

Another b92 article on this another 5 minutes of my life has been wasted. Where is the evidence? Just one single shred of evidence would do. No evidence ever shown from Carla, none from Serbia, none from Russia and none from Marty. Yet all these non- NATO, non-Americans, non-Albanians claim to be sitting or have sat on piles of evidence for years. This is beyond weird; it's creepily sick. Still waiting for a picture, photocopy, recording, DNA, hair strand. I ask Serbia to do all of us a service and release it's pile of evidence so we can put an end to this story. Of course unless putting an end to the rumors is not Serbia's goal.
