Trans. (Belgrade: Hriš anska misao, 2nd. Ed., 2010), p. 93. In this same volume,<br />

Ivanisevic documents his number in “<strong>The</strong> Book of the Dead Serbs of <strong>Srebrenica</strong><br />

and Birac Region, 1992-1995” (pp. 95-169), where he lists by name and by birth<br />

and death dates the 3,287 Serb victims in this region and time span.<br />

11 For but one illustration of this kind of personalized, politically-motivated attack,<br />

with its characteristic lack of resort to evidence, that greets any challenge to the<br />

orthodox point of view that we contest here, we point to a letter by 25 signatories<br />

submitted to <strong>The</strong> Guardian newspaper in December 2005, protesting the<br />

paper’s “correction” of a misleading report of an interview with Noam Chomsky<br />

that <strong>The</strong> Guardian later retracted: See Marko Attila Hoare et al., “Protest to <strong>The</strong><br />

Guardian Over ‘Correction’ to Noam Chomsky Interview,” as posted to Balkan<br />

Insight No. 15 (Balkan Investigative Reporting Network), December 8, 2005,<br />

; see also Marko Attila Hoare,<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Guardian, Noam Chomsky, and the Milosevic Lobby,” as posted to the<br />

website of <strong>The</strong> Henry Jackson Society, February 4, 2006, .<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hoare letter was in turn answered by James Bisset et al., “In response to: Protest<br />

to the Guardian Over ‘Correction’ to Noam Chomsky Interview,” Balkan Investigative<br />

Reporting Network, no date, .<br />

12 “European Parliament resolution of 15 January 2009 on <strong>Srebrenica</strong>” (P6_TA-<br />

PROV(2009)0028), EurLex, January 15, 2009, para. 2, para. B, emphasis added,<br />

. This resolution<br />

not only asserts, based on no known evidence, that “more than” 8,000<br />

men and boys were slaughtered at <strong>Srebrenica</strong>, it even claims “the rape of a large<br />

number of women” (para. D), something that even the standard mainstream accounts<br />

of the July 1995 events have not put forward. Politicization has made it possible<br />

to say anything about the massacre as long as this enlarges its scope of evil.<br />
