"How do they know what they know?" How have they attempted to justify their knowledge claims? Please be specific.
In the article The Independent justifies their claims that Karadzic is a monster mostly by reasoning. Instead of believing the authority of Karadzic and what he tells them is true and because they are not directly experiencing what he is doing they use induction and deduction to reason what the truth really is. The article mentions many contradictions between what is happening in Bosnia and what Karadzic says is happening; for example they notice that although Karadzic says there are no snipers in Bosnia there still continues to be many deaths every day in caused by snipers and they therefore realize that Karadzic is lying about these murders and they call him a monster for doing such a horrible thing.

Please elaborate on your blog. You need to reflect a bit more on the articles provided. A nice attempt to use specific quotes from the readings to justify your claims - but I need even more. Each post must be 20 min. A good attempt to use WoK like Induction.
