information on Mirsad Tokaca
I should point out that I am not one of those people who thinks getting the truth out about actual casualties in the Bosnian War is a bad thing.
I do however think that a true account should not be misused to defend bad people on ANY side, and that process is very visible to anyone who hits Google for information on Mr. Tokaca.
I was moved to have a look at Mirsad Tokaca's work after seeing a reply to a post over in East Ethnia by estavisti.

Another thing, Tokaca raises some important points about the war in Bosnia. Points which need to be taken seriously if there is ever to be an end to the ethnic aspect of the discussion and a serious analysis of the economic and geopolitical causes of the war. Some people from all sides seem to be afraid to do that. Either it is going to make someone look bad, or it is going to make someone look better than they deserve to look.
Tokaca verified names on lists, and verified whether the names of missing or dead people got listed more than once, which happens in time of war. There is no sure way of coordinateing sources of information, when some one is reported missing, they may be dead, they may be missing within their own country, liveing under an assumed name, have gone elsewhere as a refugee, etc. This same thing happened in the flood in Louisiana. It happened with casualty lists for the September 11th attacks especially with the World Trade Center. It doesn't necesssarily mean someone is acting in bad faith.

I don't support them either, in fact Mirsad Tokaca's work is damageing to their agenda in many ways. I only put this in in the interests of haveing accuracy. Mr. Tokaca's organization has been about the only one that involves all 'sides' and that is why what he's doing is so important.
