http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/may1999/pint-m07.shtml See the whole article written by the NOBEL laureate Harold Pinter at that link. This is a part of it: (I can't include it all because this text box has limited space) Pinter showed how the media are being manipulated, and that the humanitarian justification for the war is false. In a powerful condemnation of the war, Pinter described the NATO onslaught against Serbia as a bandit action, committed with no serious consideration of the consequences, ill-judged, ill-thought, miscalculated, an act of deplorable machismo . Pinter was shown questioning British Defence Minister George Robertson at a news conference. The playwright, citing the Geneva Convention outlawing military attacks on civilian targets, demanded to know how the bombing of a Serbian TV station could be described as anything other than murder. Mr. Pinter has obviously got a new occupation now but I know his views, was the arrogant reply from Robertson. He justified the bombing by claiming that such targets were the brains behind the brutality , and part and parcel of the apparatus that is driving ethnic genocide . Turning to the refugee crisis Pinter showed that there is a direct correlation between the number of refugees and the amount of popular support for NATO bombing. He derided the talk of moral authority, demanding to know who bestowed it on the NATO countries?... Bombs and power--that's your moral authority. The moral position of the US was highly ambiguous, he went on. When human rights groups discovered US jets used by the Turkish airforce to bomb Kurdish villages within its own territory the Clinton administration found ways to evade laws requiring suspension of arms deliveries. 1.4 million Kurds fled Turkish repression from 1990 to 1994. Yet Turkey is invited to the top of the table at NATO's birthday party.
