Today at the Hague tribunal a secret witness testified under the pseudonym of “B-83.” The majority of B-83’s testimony was given in private session.

B-83 was apparently an official in the Serbian government who had something to do with financial matters. His employment wasn’t clear due to the excessive use of private sessions. I’m not even sure what the gist of his testimony was supposed to be since so much of it was given in private session.

B-83 did, however, say some interesting things in open session. B-83 accused the prosecution of twisting his words and putting falsehoods into his witness statement. B-83 also said that the prosecution did not give him adequate time to review his statement, or even give him the chance to see the statement in his own language until he got to the Hague earlier this week.

For example the prosecution made up a story about the Serbian Police "organizing car thefts" and inserted this outrageous fairytale into B-83's witness statement, even though the witness said that this story wasn’t true. The prosecution also made up a bunch of malarkey about “black budgets” which the witness also denied.

In fact, according to the witness, there were errors of fact in almost every single paragraph of this witness statement that the prosecutor had prepared for him.

While President Milosevic was questioning B-83 about the numerous false claims that the prosecution had inserted into his witness statement the so-called “judge” May cut him off and accused him of “wasting time on irrelevant matters.”

This is amazing even for the Hague Tribunal. Here we have a witness who had perjurious statements put into his mouth, against his will and without his knowledge, by the prosecutor and the judge doesn’t see any problem with that! If this was a real court, with a real judge, a mistrial would be declared, and the prosecutor would face criminal prosecution himself.

After B-83 finished, the prosecution called a so-called “expert” witness, one Audrey Budding, a historian from Harvard who wrote a paper on “Serb nationalism.”

Mrs. Budding proved her self to be an apologist for the Albanian Fascists of the 2nd World War.

Mrs. Budding denied that the Ballistas* were fascists, and even had the nerve to claim that the Ballistas were the victims of the Chetniks and the Partisans.
