[edit] Reason for exile

they, Letica stated, tendentiously avoided to label Bosnian Serbian soldiers as rapists in the well planned rape-warfare startegy and tried to put the blame on unidentified "males"- one cannot avoid cynical afterthoughts about this belated expression of righteousness that rings hollow in the ears of those familiar with the background of the entire affair.

I haven't read the whole Globus article or the book, but this sounds as if we're copying Letica's words taking them for granted and then passing harsh judgement the later book (which, as far as I heard, does not discuss the notion of rape as a strategy, but instead talks about the rapists one by one).

We also can't just go about saying that "she never recuperated from the collapse of Yugoslavia" (it's not exactly fair to presume state of mind) without at least some documentation.
