BRUSSELS -- NATO has used in its military operations data and assessments that were obtained in Kosovo and Metohija by members of the allegedly humanitarian organization of Medecins sans frontieres (MSF) said a number of articles published in the Belgian weekly Solidaire, stressing that there can be no talk of the independence and objectivity of the chiefs of that organization calling itself humanitarian.

That became completely clear when the Greek section of Medecins sans frontieres was expelled from the organization because its members extended aid to Serbs in Pristina during NATO's bombing. Solidaire reveals that there have been similar examples in other actions of doctors, for whom there are supposed to be no borders.

On the basis of the statements of former and current members of the organization it can be concluded that MSF chiefs are following the orders of their biggest donors -- the governments and companies of NATO member countries and that they are simply following orders.

Members of Medecins sans frontiers, in all their missions, have a "list of banned things," with data about who needs aid and to whom it should be extended and with whom they should cooperate in the field.

Medecins sans frontiers have prepared for NATO needs a report about how Serbs took part in "ethnic cleansing in Kosovo" under a "plan determined in advance" but their claim was not supported by any facts, Solidaire said.

The alleged humanitarians in their report, which was later used to justify NATO's aggression, "did not mention in any way the bombing, or the terror of the "KLA."

Not a single word was written about the hundreds of civilians killed, or about the extensive devastation inflicted on Yugoslavia, the destruction of schools and hospitals.
