How to cover up war crimes?

There is a growing concensus that Israel's actions suggest an intention to hide evidence of war crimes committed in Jenin refugee camp. Reports from eyewitnesses speak of horror. We're not thinking of apartheid-South Africa now, but we fear atrocities of Slobodan Milosovic.

Residents of the camp speak of bodies left in the streets and alleyways, and under the rubble of demolished homes. Israel still prevents journalists and independent monitors from the area.
Yesterday, journalists were stripped, their press cards and tapes confiscated and sent out of the area. CNN's Ben Wedeman said: 'Another problem we've experienced here in Jenin is the fact that there's almost no access. In fact, we have no access whatsoever to the refugee camp. We have been trying for quite some time and in many different ways to get inside that camp because we need to know what has happened.'

Also the BBC faced problems. Wedeman said: 'In this case, we're hearing of other reporters -- in fact, the BBC had a crew. They were given the choice: Surrender your press cards -- which is essentially your passport to cover this story -- or surrender your equipment. They chose to surrender their press cards.
