Gen. Wesley Clark -- War Criminal, Don't Be Fooled

Gen. Wesley Clark is a major war criminal. Please don't be fooled by the
current well-orchestrated push to nominate Clark as Democratic Party nominee
for president, at trap which Michael Moore has apparently fallen into as
well as a number of other well-meaning peace people.
Gen. Wesley Clark was in charge of refugee camps in the 1980s and 1990s
where Haitian refugees who were fleeing first Baby Doc Duvalier (and later
the new regime installed by the US following the overthrowal of the elected
Aristide government in the early 1990s), were packed, under appalling
conditions condemned by the Center for Constitutional Rights, among many
others. In the 1980s, many Haitian male refugees incarcerated at Krome (in
Miami), and Fort Allen (in Puerto Rico) reported a strange condition called
gyneacomastia, a situation in which they developed full female breasts.
Ira Kurzban, attorney for the Haitian Refugee Center, managed to pry free
government documents via a lawsuit on behalf of the refugees. These
contained the startling information that prison officials had ordered the
refugees sprayed repeatedly with highly toxic chemicals never designed for
such generic use.
The officer in charge of the refugee camp? None other than Gen. Wesley
Clark, chief of operations at the US Navy internment camp at Guantanamo, and
later head of NATO forces bombing Yugoslavia. The documents go on to say
that lengthy exposure to the particular chemicals can cause hormonal changes
that induce development of female breasts.
Medical studies of female Haitian refugees in New York revealed that they
had a much higher rate of cervical cancer than the rest of the female
population.
Half a decade later, Gen Welsey Clark was supreme NATO commander in
Yugoslavia. He presided over the massive use of depeleted uranium weapons
there which poisoned Yugoslavia's water supply and agriculture, leading to
an extremely high rate of miscarriages and childhood cancers.
Clark was in charge of NATO's "spin" in the Yugoslavia bombardment. Clark
called the destruction of a Yugoslav train filled with civilians by a NATO
missile "an uncanny accident." He said the same each time that NATO bombed
civilian targets, which happened frequently.
Paul Watson reported in the San Francisco Chronicle that "NATO bombers
scored several direct hits here in Kosovo's capital yesterday including a
graveyard, a bus station, and a children's basketball court."
(April 14) A Spanish pilot flying missions for NATO, Capt. Martin de la Hoz,
stated that on a number of occasions his supervising colonel protested to
NATO about their bombing of non-military, civilian targets.
"Once there was a coded order from the North American military that we
should drop anti-personnel bombs over Pristina and Nis. All of the missions
that we flew, all and each one, were planned in detail, including attacking
planes, targets and type of ammunition, by US high-ranking military
authorities.
.... They are destroying the country," the Spanish F-18 pilot continued,
"bombing it with novel weapons, toxic nerve gasses, surface mines dropped by
parachute, bombs containing uranium, black napalm, sterilization chemicals,
sprayings to poison crops, and weapons of which even we still know nothing
about." (quoted in "Articulo 20," a Spanish weekly newspaper, June 14, 1999)
Clark defended all of these bombings, and was an integral part of the
Clinton team's "spin" operation in Yugoslavia.
