No one in their right mind would take Milosevic's statements "Clark is a war criminal" as fact.  Milosevic is currently being found guilty of ethnic cleansing at the Hague.  Shelton and some in the Pentagon at that time just didn't want to fight that war in the Balkans; they thought it shouldn't have been a high priority for the US, and many on Clinton's team, like Madeline Albright and Clark did, because it was a test for NATO, and one which they passed--Shelton was very embarassed that Milosevic quoted him, as he would never want to be associated with defending Milosevic.
--it's downright sick that Edwards was having rallies at Serb halls, but I know you would ever get Edwards on the record as defending Milosevic--no one would defend Milosevic because Milosevic is, in fact, a war criminal guilty of ethnic cleansing.  That link you provided has nothing to do with how the press covered Clark.  DU may or may not be a problem, but it's certainly not a problem that's going to be solved by the current administration.  We've used DU for years and years and years.
