What is Going on
with the KLA?Dear Editor,
The story about the Kosovo Liberation Army with the
accompanying photo is very interesting indeed.
Here we have "Americans" donning a uniform of an
Albanian organization, replete with non-USA insignia, not
in any way affiliated with Nato, going to Albania to
fight Yugoslavia.
Am I to believe that these people first renounced
their citizenship? If not, is the State Department doing
anything to revoke their citizenship?
They are obviously taking an oath, judging from their
posture. What is the text of this oath? It was
conveniently overlooked by your reporter.
If this is somehow legal, am I then, as an Irish
American, free to assemble a bunch of my fellow Irish
Americans in Yonkers, pass out uniforms, insignia etc.,
and take an oath vowing to drive the British out of
Ulster? Or, God forbid, join a PLO muster in Yonkers, and
vow to drive the Jews out of Palestine?
This morning, I posed these questions to a State
Department spokesman, Mr. Doug Ebner in Washington
and he had no answers. I also asked Rep. C.
Smith's office about this, and am still waiting for
an answer.
