Mr D’Adamo – your comment is full of the very bigotry you supposedly object to. I find it objectionable on many counts, but have posted it as a reminder to myself and others about the toxic views people like yourself hold. Your prejudice is unsupported by any evidence and unrelated to the specific concern of my research in “Atrocity and Memory.” Casting the issue as one of ‘Christian’ vs ‘Muslim’ is to betray a considerable ignorance about the identities at stake in the Bosnian War, as is the suggestion that all participants were equally culpable.

Mr. Campbell, there is no denying that atrocities were committed by the Serbs however the atrocities committed by the Muslims were just as and if not greater. The targeting of the innocent based on there christian beliefs fueled there savagery. The Muslims whom we have seen based on post 911 and throughout history dictates that they are unwilling to allow the freedom of religion. It is either there way or no other. In viewing some horrific photo’s there’s was the use of sole sectarian use of wholesale terror based on christian beliefs. The UN, and others view only the Serbs as being worthy of war crimes. It is my belief that the Muslims are just as guilty if not more and are undeserving of any further legitimized treatment. Tell me Mr. Campbell what is the true intent of the Mujaheddin, who called upon Jihad and the christian who must be destroyed.

Goran M: The libel trial against Living Marxism for running the erroneous Thomas Deichmann story on Trnopolje was a jury trial. This means all determinations of fact, and the final judgment, was reached by the unanimous decision of twelve citizens, after they had heard all the arguments and seen all the evidence, including all the video. As such, the judge in the case, Mr Justice Morland, did not make any final rulings about who was right or wrong.

Despite this, many people who want to continue to discredit the story of Fikret Alic and revise our understanding of Trnopolje call attention to an opinion the judge expressed about the fencing in the camp. Most people wanting to make this case have relied on a BBC news story about the libel trial that contained a paraphrase of the judge’s opinion — but this BBC story was subsequently found to be misleading and unfair by the Broadcasting Standards Commission.

My articles above put everything in context and provide the detailed evidence. If you read part 1, pp. 20-21, you will see the judge’s comments quoted and discussed, and in part 1, p. 7, you will see the details of the inaccurate BBC story. The judge did not say the picture was a misrepresentation, though he did question parts of ITN’s account about the condition and location of the fences at Trnopolje. In the end, this was a minor and contested point that did not have any impact on the jury’s deliberation and unanimous decision. It certainly cannot be used to call the veracity of the Alic image and the full ITN report on Trnopolje into question. A full reading of my two articles demonstrates why that is a secure conclusion.

Mister Campbell, why did the English judge say the picture of Fikret Alic was misrepresented? He claimed this before he ruled that LM was liable of slander for claiming that ITN doctored the photo intentionally.
