Talk:Operation Horseshoe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Source

I would suggest reviewing the following paper entitled Democracy and Propaganda: NATO’s War in Kosovo by Dr. Mark A. Wolfgram, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Oklahoma State University original (doc) google cache (html)

Here is a portion of the abstract:

"Although an independent media is recognized as central to the proper functioning of democratic institutions, democratic governments often exploit their citizens’ faith in that independence to generate popular support or at least acquiescence. I use the examples of Operation Horseshoe and the fighting at Racak and Rugovo during the Kosovo war to illustrate how democratic governments in the United States and Germany attempted to manipulate public perceptions of the Kosovo conflict in 1999 and justify the war. The study is based upon a review of over 100 newspaper articles found in the Lexis-Nexis database and numerous scholarly articles, allowing me to trace the development these specific narratives."

Perhaps we can incorporate some citations to this work and the sources referenced in the paper in the article. // Laughing Man 06:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The article as it is now is ridiculous. Claims by NATO governments and intelligence without any backing are presented as "evidence", while anything else is presented as "denial". Nikola 19:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
