Here is another great essay by John Pilger:
The secrets of the crushing of Yugoslavia are emerging, telling us more about how the modern world is policed. The former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia in The Hague, Carla Del Ponte, this year published her memoir The Hunt: Me and War Criminals. Largely ignored in Britain, the book reveals unpalatable truths about the west’s intervention in Kosovo, which has echoes in the Caucasus.
The tribunal was set up and bankrolled principally by the United States. Del Ponte’s role was to investigate the crimes committed as Yugoslavia was dismembered in the 1990s. She insisted that this include Nato’s 78-day bombing of Serbia and Kosovo in 1999, which killed hundreds of people in hospitals, schools, churches, parks and tele vision studios, and destroyed economic infrastructure. “If I am not willing to [prosecute Nato personnel],” said Del Ponte, “I must give up my mission.” It was a sham. Under pressure from Washington and London, an investigation into NATO war crimes was scrapped.

The ICT and ICC are sick jokes - kangaroo courts which hound Washington's enemies while allowing Washington's war criminals to go free. There is no such thing as international justice on this planet. The victors, no matter how brutal, have done no wrong.
By the way, the name "Clinton" does not appear anywhere in Pilger's essay, but the destruction of Yugoslavia was Bill and Hillary's baby from start to finish. Anyone who wants to put them in charge of the US and NATO again is CRAZY.
