- Please explain why said article is "overcooked?" A handful of
- stories from among thousands of rapes a bit too much to bear?
-
- As for the Kuwait Incubator story, that came from a *SOLE* source,
- I will remind everyone. It's a bit harder to discredit the truthfulness
- of the Balkan rapes considering that there are hundreds of witnesses and
- news agencies that are constantly confirming what is too monstrous to
- believe. Perhaps it's not 4,000-10,000 systematic rapes thus far. Perhaps
- it's only 400-1,000. That's still *TOO* much, no matter how much
- anyone wants to trivialize it in the global overview sense.
