I think the statement about saying that it proves that "no crimes happened" during Opertation Storm is over the top and counter prodcutive though. The problem though is assigning guilt to these incidents. The evidence against Gotovina was questionable at best. He conducted a plan under American supervision.
What are you talking about? You really couldn't be more wrong. See this link for particulars on the burden of proof and onus in criminal proceedings at the ICTY: http://www.icty.org/sid/98
