The author is making a large leap in logic, assuming that the shoddy prosecution of the UN is a direct result of “the West’s” machinations.

Damn right he is and he is damn right for it. That is exactly what is going on.

This is my favorite incident where an Albanian fighter aka murderer who blew up a bus with a remote bomb was arrested and kept in Camp Bondsteel and then while no one was looking in the biggest military base the US has in Europe he escapes somehow without anyone seeing him do it.

A murder suspect escaped May 14 from U.S. Army captivity in Kosovo as fighting escalated along the Serbian province’s borders.
Florim Ejupi, a Kosovar Albanian, escaped in the early hours from the detention facility at Camp Bondsteel, the Army’s base camp in eastern Kosovo, according to a statement issued by the U.S.-led Multinational Brigade (East) that day.

He was being held in connection with the Feb. 15 bombing of a bus carrying Serbs in Pudejevo. The United Nations Mission in Kosovo police force (UNMIK-P) transferred Ejupi to Bondsteel on May 3.

Ejupi was reported missing after he was absent for the facility’s accountability check at 4:15 a.m. He was last seen at a similar check two hours before.

It is unclear how Ejupi escaped, and Brig. Gen. Kenneth Quinlan, the commander of the multinational brigade, has ordered an investigation into the incident, said brigade spokesman Maj. Jim Marshall.

In the meantime, the brigade has increased security at the detention facility, which has 107 detainees and is run by the 530th MP Company, an Army Reserve unit based in Nebraska, Marshall said.

The Podujevo bus bombing was an attack on a civilian bus in a Serb-populated area near the town of Podujevo in Kosovo on 16 February 2001. Orchestrated by ethnic Albanians, the bombing killed twelve Serb civilians who were travelling to the Gračanica monastery and injured dozens more.

Five Albanian men were arrested for the attack,[3] but they were not charged with anything. Four men were later suspected of committing the attack, but they escaped from a U.S. detention facility in 2002 and have not since been charged with any crime. One Albanian, Florim Ejupi, was convicted in 2008 of planting the bomb and sentenced to 40 years in prison. However, he was released on 13 March 2009.

It’s good to have Sam as your Uncle.
