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.

I never claimed IWPR was a paragon of objectivity. I just find it ironic that all the people who complain of its "propagandistic function" are quick to turn to IWPR's Chris Stephen, who was apparently the only journalist who covered Nikolic's perjury. (Yes, you can also go the actual court transcript.)
Now, Anonymous (was that you Borislav?) wrote "IWPR fired Chris Stephen," a simple, objective mis-statement of fact. I dare to correct it, and I am told this wasn't the "important point." Important enough for you to (inaccurately) invoke, but not important enough for me to correct. Very interesting.

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.

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 and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
