Interestingly, this letter by Martin Shaw
http://www.sussex.ac.uk/Users/hafa3/pilger.htm
accuses Pilger of attributing Serbian acts of genocide to "random brutality"
rather than "genocidal planning". Again, there is a difference and it
matters. It seems that Pilger knows (or at least feels, somewhere) that
there is a difference, if he is prepared to make the effort to spin things
one way rather than another. Perhaps I am being too kind in calling him a
sloppy thinker, which implies merely haplessness...
