Until I see the results of a full forensic investigation, I am retaining a sceptical position. A mass grave alone tells us nothing about how the people died. And although I am sure a lot of the Albanians who claim to have witnessed killings are telling the truth, I would no more believe their testimony on its own than I would that of a witness to a murder in this country without cross-examination. I am looking for a British standard of proof. But even assuming some of these stories are proven to be true, it will not change my opposition to the war.
Atrocities happen in all wars, and war itself is the greatest atrocity.
Using war as a method of solving mankind's problems is wrong in principle. The reports have changed my mind in that they have made me even more sure that the whole thing has been an appalling disaster. The mass graves of people killed by Nato bombs and the mass graves of people killed by Serbian forces add up to a large amount of dead people. I said on the first day of the war that by intervening in a civil war, we would be pouring petrol on the flames. That is exactly what happened.
