March 1998. The Civic League shifts the focus of a Congressional hearing
with Balkan envoy Robert Gelbard from Bosnia to Kosova. Under questioning instigated by
the Civic League, Gelbard is forced to retract his earlier, erroneous depiction of the KLA
as a "terrorist" organization. The retraction creates a storm in the
Western Media, and overnight the attempt to "criminalize" the KLA is halted.
After the hearing, the Civic League holds the first rally on Capitol Hill in
support of the Kosova Liberation Army.
