The Srebrenica Massacre - Nova Srpska Politicka Misao

The Numbers Game
bodies cause a difference in ground temperature that can be picked up
by infra-red sensors. This is how satellites discovered disturbed soil along
a road near Srebrenica, which later turned out to contain a mass grave.
Other locations identified in the same way, incidentally, later turned
out (through air and ground inspections) to be loading sites for timber
transport.” 67
A report in late July 1995 on the subject of imagery intelligence explained
that:
US satellites make at least eight passes over Bosnia daily, according
to John Pike, an expert on satellites at the Federation of
American Scientists. These include Keyhole satellites, which can
detect object as small as four inches but which cannot see
through clouds, and Lacrosse satellites, which can see through
clouds but cannot focus enough to detect something the size of
a human being. Then there are the Predators, known technically
as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly referred to as
drones. Built by General Atomics, these small, remote controlled
vehicles can hover over targets for more than 24 hours at
a time. Four of the latest versions are thought to operate from
a base in Albania. Designed to provide “round-the-clock” coverage,
the Predators are almost invisible to the naked eye and
difficult to pick up on radar. They can fly at up to 25,000 feet,
have infrared detectors for night vision and can purportedly
relay video footage back to the Pentagon in real time. 68
If numerous mass executions were carried out and, crucially, if the
Bosnian Serbs later dug-up the original (or “primary”) mass graves, relocated
and then reburied thousands of bodies in “secondary” and even
“tertiary” mass graves, this should have been observed and recorded
somewhere in the imagery intelligence records. Yet, with respect to alleged
executions, Wiebes’ study of the extant imagery intelligence concludes:
[T]he Americans only had images of the location [of the alleged
executions] before and after the executions and no images
of the execution itself….As the researcher for the Yugoslavia Tribunal,
[Jean-René] Ruez, testified to the French Parliamentary
Inquiry in Paris, there were no such photos. Hence, the Yugoslavia
Tribunal only had photos of before and after the exe-
