an excuse to make war is of dubious origins. The man who pushed hardest for
accepting it as a massacre was one William Walker, who was a US State
Department official in El Salvador during the war. He worked overtime to
cover up army atrocities. And we are supposed to take him at his word? >>
Louis is modest. The evidence suggests something far harsher: a) Walker is a
specialist in death squad liason work. He was in fact Ambassador to El
Salvador
and he was the official spokesman who commented on the murder of the 6
Jesuits and the 4 (?) nuns. He was in chrage during the attempted seizure of
the capital. He was assigned to Kosovo during the period when the OSCE (siC!
- it was US controlled in fact) sent in "observors." His came from Dyncorp,
a n operation similar to the MPLA: uses high ranking "retoired: army and CIA
people. Evidence is that his job was to train, streemline and takeover (from
the Germans) liason with the death squad-gangster KLA.

In HUMANITARIAN SPIES we charged that the OSCE (Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe) Verification mission in Kosovo that was in place from
fall, 1998 until NATO started bombing in March, 1999 - that this was a cover
for a) spies and b) establishment of liason between US covert agencies and
the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
Here's an excerpt from HUMANITARIAN SPIES:
"'Negotiated' (that is, 'coerced') under threat of NATO bombing last October,
the Verification agreement let the OSCE send unarmed mediators into Kosovo,
supposedly to help defuse tensions. However everything about the Verification
mission suggests military intelligence, not mediation.
"It was run by William Walker. Walker had no background as a mediator. He
wasn't even an expert in Balkans history or current politics. What he did
know about was counter-insurgency and black ops. His role in Iran-Contra and
his achievements in apologizing for the murderous El Salvador death squads
all but prove he is a high-placed intelligence operative. (See "MEET MR.
MASSACRE at http://www.emperors-clothes.com/analysis/meetmr.htm
"The U.S. verification team was composed of employees of Dyncorp, a Virginia
company that has grown rich off Government work. At the 1992 Senate hearings
on R. James Woolsey's appointment as head of the CIA, Woolsey commented: "I
own less than one-quarter of one percent of the -- diluted shares of a
company named Dyncorp here in the Washington, D.C. area. And the corporation
has, from time to time, had a handful of very small contracts with the
Central Intelligence Agency." Ahh, sweet understatement. Dyncorp's "very
small contracts" have included covert work for the Company in Columbia and
Peru.
"...Given this command structure, doesn't it stand to reason that the U.S.
goal was a) to gather military intelligence and b) to establish
command-relations with the Kosovo Liberation Army? The goal was to bond with
the KLA which killed and is still killing ethnic Serbs and ethnic Albanian
"collaborators" Serbian State policemen, power line repairmen, school
officials, Yugoslav troops, even state-employed wood gatherers - just like
the Latin American death squads Walker "observed" during previous CIA
assignemnts. "
(From Humanitarian Spies at www.emperors-clothes.com/analysis/humanita.htm )
Now the (London) Sunday Times has confirmed our charges. The OSCE
Verification Mission in Kosovo for 6 months prior to the bombing of
Yugoslavia was indeed a phony, a cover for the CIA to set up liason with the
KLA and spy on Yugoslavia. Walker was indeed creating another death squad
operation - just as he did in El Salvador. Dyncorps, which supplied the
'verifiers', is indeed a 'Company' company. The US horror-show government has
made fools of the 'honest broker' Euro leaders - that is, if there are any
honest Euro leaders. NATO must get out of Kosovo - NOW!
Here's the TIMES:
CIA aided Kosovo guerrilla army
Tom Walker and Aidan Laverty (posted 3-12-00)
>From the Sunday Times (London)
AMERICAN intelligence agents have admitted they helped to train the Kosovo
Liberation Army before Nato's bombing of Yugoslavia. The disclosure angered
some European diplomats, who said this had undermined moves for a political
solution to the conflict between Serbs and Albanians. Central Intelligence
Agency officers were ceasefire monitors in Kosovo in 1998 and 1999,
developing ties with the KLA and giving American military training manuals
and field advice on fighting the Yugoslav army and Serbian police.
When the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), which
co-ordinated the monitoring, left Kosovo a week before airstrikes began a
year ago, many of its satellite telephones and global positioning systems
were secretly handed to the KLA, ensuring that guerrilla commanders could
stay in touch with Nato and Washington. Several KLA leaders had the mobile
phone number of General Wesley Clark, the Nato commander.
European diplomats then working for the OSCE claim it was betrayed by an
American policy that made airstrikes inevitable. Some have questioned the
motives and loyalties of William Walker, the American OSCE head of mission.
"The American agenda consisted of their diplomatic observers, aka the CIA,
operating on completely different terms to the rest of Europe and the OSCE,"
said a European envoy.
Several Americans who were directly involved in CIA activities or close to
them have spoken to the makers of Moral Combat, a documentary to be broadcast
on BBC2 tonight, and to The Sunday Times about their clandestine roles.
Walker dismissed suggestions that he had wanted war in Kosovo, but admitted
the CIA was almost certainly involved in the countdown to airstrikes.
Initially some "diplomatic observers" arrived, followed in October by a much
larger group that was eventually swallowed up into the OSCE's "Kosovo
Verification Mission".
Walker said: "Overnight we went from having a handful of people to 130 or
more. Could the agency have put them in at that point? Sure they could. It's
their job. But nobody told me."
Walker, who was nominated by Madeleine Albright, the American secretary of
state, was intensely disliked by Belgrade. He had worked briefly for the
United Nations in Croatia. Ten years earlier he was the American ambassador
to El Salvador when Washington was helping the government there to suppress
leftist rebels while supporting the contra guerrillas against the Sandinista
government in Nicaragua.
Some European diplomats in Pristina, Kosovo's capital, concluded from
Walker's background that he was inextricably linked with the CIA. The picture
was muddied by the continued separation of American "diplomatic observers"
>from the mission. The CIA sources who have now broken their silence say the
diplomatic observers were more closely connected to the agency.
"It was a CIA front, gathering intelligence on the KLA's arms and
leadership," said one.
Another agent, who said he felt he had been "suckered in" by an organisation
that has run amok in post-war Kosovo, said: "I'd tell them which hill to
avoid, which wood to go behind, that sort of thing."
The KLA has admitted its long-standing links with American and European
intelligence organisations. Shaban Shala, a KLA commander now involved in
attempts to destabilise majority Albanian villages beyond Kosovo's border in
Serbia proper, claimed he had met British, American and Swiss agents in
northern Albania in 1996.
Belgrade has alleged the CIA also helped to arm the KLA, but this was denied
by the guerrillas and agency sources.
"It was purely the Albanian diaspora helping their brothers," said Florin
Krasniqi, a New York builder and one of the KLA's biggest financiers. He
described how sniper rifles were exported from America using a loophole in
federal law that allowed them to be shipped to "hunting clubs".
Armour-piercing Barratt rifles made their way to the KLA's "hunting club" in
Albania.
Agim Ceku, the KLA commander in the latter stages of the conflict, had
established American contacts through his work in the Croatian army, which
had been modernised with the help of Military Professional Resources Inc, an
American company specialising in military training and procurement. This
company's personnel were in Kosovo, along with others from a similar company,
Dyncorps, that helped in the American-backed programme for the Bosnian army.
