 After decade, ethnic killings scar country - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Europe - News
The raw emotions accompanying the Srebrenica anniversary were fueled further early last month when a video showing a Serb paramilitary unit known as the Scorpions executing six Srebrenica captives was released by the UN war crimes tribunal and played repeatedly on television in Bosnia and in neighboring Serbia-Montenegro, the successor state of Yugoslavia.
Hadzic is one of thousands of Bosnian women who lost loved ones a decade ago when Serb paramilitary forces led by General Ratko Mladic turned the eastern mining town of Srebrenica into the epicenter of Europe's worst bloodbath since the days of Hitler's death camps.
As Bosnia-Herzegovina prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre with a solemn ceremony tomorrow, survivors, officials, and ordinary Bosniaks say that despite marked progress over the past year in prodding Serb officials to acknowledge the scope of the atrocities, the country remains deeply divided, scarred by mistrust, and far from reconciliation.

Moreover, even though Mowhoush died in the sleeping bag, it looks like his death had at least as much to do with his treatment the day before by the CIA and a CIA-trained and funded Iraqi paramilitary group, code-named the Scorpions (more about them in another must-read piece in today's Post).
Chancey's review found that the course characterizes the Bible as inspired by God, that discussions of science are based on the biblical account of creation, that Jesus is referred to as fulfilling Old Testament prophecy, and that archaeological findings are erroneously used to support claims of the Bible's historical accuracy.
This country was clearly founded by people who interpret the Bible the exact same way as James Dobson, Roy Moore, and Pat Robertson.

 Begging to Differ
Before the war in Iraq began, the CIA recruited and trained an Iraqi paramilitary group, code-named the Scorpions, to foment rebellion, conduct sabotage, and help CIA paramilitaries who entered Baghdad and other cities target buildings and individuals, according to three current and former intelligence officials with knowledge of the unit.
It was inside the sleeping bag that the 56-year-old detainee took his last breath through broken ribs, lying on the floor beneath a U.S. soldier in Interrogation Room 6 in the western Iraqi desert.
Mowhoush's ordeal in Qaim, over 16 days in November 2003, also reflects U.S. government secrecy surrounding some abuse cases and gives a glimpse into a covert CIA unit that was set up to foment rebellion before the war and took part in some interrogations during the insurgency.

 US Holocaust Memorial Museum Newsfeed - Topic: Balkans

The footage of the killing of six young Muslims men _ the first video of a direct execution from the Balkan wars in the 1990s that was made public _ was allegedly carried out by the members of a notorious Serb Scorpions paramilitary unit.

While few senior politicians in the Balkans have voiced their concerns in public, analysts and senior government officials say that the denial or postponement of EU membership could derail reforms and promote instability in a region that is still recovering from war.

Kosovo is a province of Serbia with a restive ethnic Albanian majority, many of whom want to break away from the Serbs.

 The New York Review of Books: The Deadlocked City
The tenth-century Arab geographer Muqaddasi—the name implies that he was a native of Jerusalem—wrote that the city was "a golden basin filled with scorpions." The holy places are mostly inside the walled Old City, within a stone's throw from one another.
Even as he wrote these words in a letter—preserved in the Weizmann Archives—brown-shirted members of Betar, a right-wing paramilitary Jewish youth movement, were clashing with Arab fundamentalists in Jerusalem not far from the Wailing Wall.
The sad fact is that the city can no longer be partitioned effectively, while only a handful of idealists on both sides are ready to "share" it or be content with "custody" over religious sites in a city whose sovereignty would be left fuzzy.
