It was after Voćin that McCloskey became an outspoken critic of the Serbian campaign and of his colleagues in Washington who continued to insist the conflict in Croatia was only a " civil war " , and something in which the U.S. had no business interfering . McCloskey went immediately to Belgrade and accused Slobodan Milosevic of war crimes to his face . After that he went back to Washington , contacting State Department officials at the highest levels to which he had access . He gave Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger a complete briefing , and wondered why nothing was done . When the same Serbian units that conducted the massacres in Croatia began to spread their grim work around Bosnia-Herzegovina , McCloskey went to have a look for himself
grim work
Bosnian genocide
