TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

Tuesday, January 27, 2004

Democracy Now caught up with Gen. Clark this past weekend::

JEREMY SCAHILL: In Yugoslavia, you used cluster bombs and depleted uranium...

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK: Sure did.

JEREMY SCAHILL: I want to know if you are president, will you vow not to use them.

CLARK: I will use whatever . . .

[...]

SCAHILL: Why did you bomb Radio Television Serbia? You killed 16 media workers . . . Amnesty International called it a war crime. . . It killed makeup artists.

CLARK: There were actually six people who were killed, as I recall.

SCAHILL: There were 16.

CLARK: I recall six.

SCAHILL: I was there at the time and I knew the families . . .

CLARK: It was all looked at by the International Criminal Tribunal crime by Yugoslavia. All of my actions were examined and they were all upheld by the highest law in the United States. . . .

SCAHILL: On April 12th you targeted a passenger train, and then you showed a video that was sped up at three time the speed. Why?

CLARK: I think -- first of all, the passenger train was not targeted. . . .

SCAHILL: What the actual in real-time speed showed is that the pilot actually moved the target so that it would hit the train. . . . 12 people were killed, including an orthodox priest.

CLARK: That's terrible. But, I don't have the information. . . .

SCAHILL: Do you think you owe the people of Serbia who died in that war an apology?

CLARK: No . . .
