Just wondering if Ms. Jatras even bothered to speak to Col. duCellier or not. Not sure why this story about Kosovo and the crimes within had anything to do with Col. duCellier's letters home. Maybe Ms. Jatras would be interested to know that Vince has since been home and back and is now in his fifth mission. Maybe she should talk to him about what he sees there, since he is there everyday. He was not reporting as she does; he was simply writing a letter to his wife to tell her what he saw. I'm sure in the last 5 years he has seen more than the Albanian boy. Maybe she should do some real reporting. Maybe. Just a suggestion. Before you bash someone. Stella Jatras replies: It is not "bashing" to tell the truth. The writer doesn't seem to want to understand that former Maryland police officer Vincent duCellier was suspended because of incompetence. It is interesting to note that, as director of the prison where Serb war crimes suspects staged a successful mass breakout, he "is now seeking to look for a new Kosovo Job." (The Washington Times, 8 Sep 2000). The first article published in The Washington Times was a touching letter written to his wife, titled, "Lessons of a lifetime," (3 August editorial page). The second article published in The Metropolitan Section of The Times is dated 21 August and titled, "'We are the police' in war-torn Kosovo, Maryland cop learns the value of America from volunteer mission," and was almost identical to the first article, which piqued my curiosity as to why The Washington Times would give double coverage to identical reports in so short a time the writer says that Officer "Vince" has been back no less than five times on his "humanitarian" missions. I repeat the following report from The Washington Times of 15 Sep 2000, in a letter written by Tika Jankovic of San Jose, California after recently visiting the prison in Mitrovica, "The U.N.-run prison is shameful. It is a smelly, filthy, inhumane, dungeon where the accused � not tried � inmates live for months. Vincent de[u] Cellier, the Maryland man who was prison director, has been replaced by another American." Since Officer "Vince's" missions back to Kosovo, did he see any improvement on the prison and did he write his wife on this? And if, as claimed, Officer "Vince" has been back on five missions, was he there when the Kosovo Albanian mobs in March of last year destroyed churches and murdered Serbs in what is referred to as "Kristallnacht in Kosovo"?: "A pogrom
started in Europe this week, with one U.N. official being quoted as saying,
'Kristallnacht is under way in Kosovo.'Serbs are being murdered and their
800-year-old churches are aflame. Much of the Christian heritage in Kosovo and
Metohija is on fire and could be lost forever. By these deeds too many of
Kosovo's Albanians have shown that their rhetoric about 'democracy' and
'multiethnicity' is false, and demonstrates also that the international
community's acceptance of them has been na�ve." Some of the most damning words come from former Canadian UNPROFOR Commander Maj. General Lewis MacKenzie when he wrote, "The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius [my emphasis]. We have subsidized and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an ethnically pure and independent Kosovo. We have never blamed them for being the perpetrators of the violence in the early '90s and we continue to portray them as the designated victim today in spite of evidence to the contrary. When they achieve independence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin Laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independence movements around the world." Where are "Vincent's" letters to his wife on the eradication of Serbs from their Jerusalem? Reports are that this March, our good friends, the KLA, plan to implement its final solution for the Serbs in Kosovo in order to achieve their independent KosovA � and they will achieve this with the help of former President Clinton's cronies who are still in the State Department. Well, my friend, just as the Kosovo-Albanians have played Officer "Vince," like a Stradivarius, they have played you and many others as well. And since you are so knowledgeable regarding Officer "Vince," can you tell me how much compensation he has received for his five missions to Kosovo thus far? It would be helpful to know. |
