An internal UN report prepared for Annan and leaked to journalists earlier this year accuses the KPC of "criminal activities, killings, ill-treatment/torture, illegal policing, abuse of authority, intimidation, breaches of political neutrality and hate speech."
Yet Susan Manuel, spokesperson for the UN Mission in Kosovo, says, "As far as I know, no ones been [criminally] charged with anything." This refusal to prosecute those in the KPC who commit atrocities has in effect given the go-ahead to a wider campaign of terror against Serbs and other civilians.
This campaign, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, has forced more than 200,000 minorities - mostly Serbs - to flee Kosovo since NATO forces rolled in last summer.
The United States is the largest funder of the KPC, shelling out some $5 million for its activities to date. But the US connection doesnt end there.
The man chosen to head the KPC is well-known to Washington: Gen. Agim Ceku, former military Chief of Staff of the KLA. Ceku refined his brutality as a general in the US-backed Croatian Army during the Balkans war and was trained by Military Professional Resources Inc., a private paramilitary firm founded in 1987 and based in Alexandria, Virginia, with former high-ranking US generals and NATO officials on its board [see Ken Silverstein, "Privatizing War," July 28/August 4, 1997].
In 1995, armed with a contract authorized by the Clinton Administration, MPRI officially began to train Croatian forces.
Just months after MPRI arrived on the scene, Croatian forces carried out the notorious Operation Storm. In a brutal four-day blitzkrieg in 1995, these forces expelled some 200,000 Serbs from the Krajina region of Croatia after their villages were mercilessly shelled.
Janes Defence Weekly reported that Ceku was "one of the key planners" of the operation that the New York Times called "the largest single ethnic cleansing of the war."
The criminal tribunal has been investigating Operation Storm for years. The Sunday Times of London recently reported that Ceku is also suspected by the tribunal of war crimes committed during raids he led in the south of Croatia in September 1993, when he was commanding the feared 9th Brigade. Spokeswoman Manuel says the UN is "aware" of Cekus history and the accusations against him but placed him at the head of the KPC "because he was the leader of the KLA when we arrived, and he wanted to contribute to the transformation of the KLA to a constructive force for the future of Kosovo."
Washington, maneuvering to reward the KLA in the "new" Kosovo, has sacrificed human tights and ethnic tolerance to a desire to maintain a close relationship with the forces it hopes to do business with for years to come.
In legitimizing Agim Ceku and thousands of other KLA members by putting them in positions of authority, Washington is giving ethnic cleansing a green light. Not criminally charging KPC members sends a clear message to those in and outside the KPC that crimes may continue with impunity. Its not surprising that some of the worst brutality against Serbs has occurred in the US sector of Kosovo.
The only way the UN can begin to have credibility with minorities, particularly Serbs, is to remove Ceku from any position of authority within Kosovo and to dismantle the KLA, both in name and force. KPC members who commit crimes should be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned, not just fired or internally disciplined. The United States should immediately cut all funding of the KPC until it is verified that it is no longer engaged in murder, torture, kidnapping and other atrocities.

Serbs forget that EU gave 50 billion euros in aid to serbs, like dog like serbs they bite the hand that feeds them.,,,well done to u, but dont forget the Nato bombing of 1999 was a first round, like in any fight there are 11 more rounds to come,,,,serbs are doomed to be victims of their gipsy beliefs, extremist idiotic beliefs.....Nato the the rest of the civilised world hates serbia, the reason find it within.

Bill Clinton,,,was a hero of the free world, someone under whose command the world economy and human rights blossom to new hights never seen before up to that date nor seen ever since.....by calling a president like Bill Clinton a terrorist are doing othing else but calling all of Americans terrorists, they are calling the rest of the free world and Nato terrorists,,,,,that is unaceptable, ignorant and very gipsy like by serbs,,,,
