> AMSTERDAM, Friday - Almost a year after NATO began air strikes on Serbia
> Dutch daily De True reports that senior NATO officials considered bombing
> (then) independent Radio B92. The information comes with the release of

> Amsterdam
> correspondent Danijel Bukumirovic reports that the paper quoted statements
>
> from NATO officials at a symposium in the US in February this year. At
> this
> conference the officials discussed the fact that the public was given too
> much information about unplanned results from bombing, giving the example
> of
> CNN as a media organisation which refrained from publishing material the
> US
> Army didn't like. According to a Dutch journalists quoted today, General
> Romeo Morrisey from the Army's special operations said that NATO should
> have
> eliminated the Serbian independent station B92 as well as the state media
> network. According to the report, Morrisey complained that information on
> B92's Internet site did not correspond to material presented at NATO's
> press
> conferences and this undermined NATO's message. De true writes that
> Morrisey,
> among other things, said that the psychological operations group didn't
> like
> B92's reports at all.
