Ramsey Clark and Milosevicz

This news about International Action Center (IAC) founder Ramsey Clark

Cuba.

[Emperor's Clothes comments] So by first affirming the lie that he
represents Milosevic and then accepting the lie that Milosevic is a
war criminal, Clark was strengthening the *false* impression among the
public that Milosevic is a monster. ......
