Syndicate: details /inconsistencies/photos

["Geneva J. Anderson" <geneva@iscweb.com>]

As an exercise i asked my students here in california
to find inconsistencies in the information posted on various
Kosovo-related URL's. So far, this came one back
and i thought it might be of interest to the list.
Obviously, it was already corrected (?) but I'd like to know 
of other things people found. anyone else collecting this
type of information? explanations for this particular photo? 
and in pointing such things things out,  i am in no way 
suggesting that tragic and violent acts are not occurring.
best,
geneva anderson

>recently, when in fact it had taken place in 1998. The article from

>They talk about Serb propaganda in that story, but yet they 
>are using that same photo as propaganda themselves since 
>they are not stating when, how, and with who the child was 
>killed with. I dont agree with a child being murdered
>at any time, but I thought it weird about the 2 pictures.
