Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

Your opinions on this issue are dangerous. You seem to pick and choose what you wish to believe naively. And when someone tries to show new light, your pride (and perhaps another factor that I will not mention) gets in the way. You are too scared to be corrected, as that would make you wrong. And your never wrong, are you?
History is written by the ultimate victors. Within these wars in the former communist Yugoslavia there is no ultimate victor. Thus, the outsiders (western governments mainly) have sought to put the blame on everyone involved. And they have tried ever so hard to make 'all side equal' in this guilt. Ante Gotovina is one of those being persecuted by the international community (whose meagre attempt to resolve the wars was more a slap in the face to the victims than anything else) so that it may seem that the ICTY is being equal in its quest to find those guilty. Unfortunately, there is no equal guilt. Anyone who was there would know that.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

WAR AT THE CROSSROADS
An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural—a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers—from the Roman empire to NATO.

TOMPKINS SQUARE PARK:
LEGACY OF REBELLION
A Century and a Half of Protest & Resistance on New York's Lower East Side
A concise chronicle of the Tompkins Square riots of 1857, 1863 (Civil War draft riots), 1874, 1877 (national railroad strike), 1967 (hippies fight back) and 1988 (anarchists versus police state)—and how the battles over one small park in lower Manhattan have been a microcosm of the class and social struggles that have shaped America and the world.
Your all over the gaff
